I purchased Kyboot shoes as I was…plantars fasciitis diagnosis I purchased Kyboot shoes as I was diagnosed with plantars fasciitis in my left foot. Kyboot shoes immediately took away the pain and they were the only shoes I could wear. The only negative is the Kyboot shoes with the high-rebound effect don't offer as much stability as regular shoes. I found that my knees were affected by this and I ended up with knee pain. The newer, low-rebound effect Kyboot shoes offer less cushioning but more stability and may have been best for me but I don't think they were available last year when I had my foot pain. It's nice that Kyboot has options so try both styles before you make your purchase.

Zig-zag and straight stitching hurt The zig-zag seams along the edge of the insole are rough against my skin. I own the Gaya and didn't notice the roughness until it was broken in but since I wear socks with those it's not too bad. BUT 3 summer shoes and sandals that I ordered have rough fabric which curled into my toes and rough stitching (1 with straight stitching and 2 with zig-zag stitching). I really wanted these shoes to feel comfortable for this summer.

At work limping.... No more! At work, people noticed me limping. I had my steroid shots but no relief, and perhaps I bought all the shoes and inserts that promised to take my pain away, but still, my plantar fasciitis kept torturing me. My back is also going bad as my posture and walking are affected. I was reluctant to buy the shoes because of the price. Until one day I can't take it anymore and look into trying the shoes. It was the best decision and investment I've ever made. My kyBoot shoes became my best friend.

I have purchased a number of Kybun… I have purchased a number of Kybun Products, shoes, trainers, and sandals, pillows, etc after being an original MBT distributor and found that the quality is lacking. Firstly Soles: a rose bush thorn will puncture the sole render it useless. Secondly: the shoes wear faster on the inside than the outside, bad quality Lace clips on sandals, break in now time. Overall concept is good, but MBT and there improvements at a lower price, still better. However, many companies has caught on and it would be advisable to look at other rocker bottom shoes /trainers/ sandals at a fraction of the price

Two year longevity You need to read the website carefully as they estimate a two year life span for these shoes. I've had them longer , however have worn them little, but the soles have separated from the shoes on both sides , the first warning was my feet getting a little damp but in a short time both sides have completely detached at the front . Very disappointing for a very expensive shoe that I have not worn all that much and looking at the construction I think this is a fault that would be repeated as the sole seems just to be glued onto the shoe and with the compression of the sole when walking it would appear to be a weak point in the design. There are better rocker shoes out there.
