Great soles, terrible uppers I bought a pair of women's hiking Kybun shoes. I love the soles - they perform as advertised. However, the uppers are terrible. Toe box is too narrow and causes pinky toe blisters (and I don't have exceptionally wide/large feet or thick socks). The ankle rim is stiff and bulky and hurts my ankles - hasn't broken in even over several hikes. I ordered a half-size larger than my usual size, and the shoes feel short and cramped. So I love the soles, but the badly constructed uppers make these shoes unusable for me.

ZERO customer service ZERO Be very careful on the pricy mistake you are about to make. The shoes are very expensive, but as long as you can find the right one that works for you it may be worth it, however you have to pay the shipping to get the shoes and you WILL pay 3 TIMES more of your original shipping cost when you want to return it due to wrong size or excessive heat that shoes cause while you're walking. They are NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE oriented for those who live in the US and are accustomed to customer service, WRONG COMPANY!

Very slow to process refund Very slow to process refund. I had to contact several times. Responses we're quick, but action was slow. No apologies, either. To clarify: return was received June 27th and refund was not received until July 14. KYboot did not attempt to process the refund to my card until I sent 2 emails. I am not a chronic complainer who likes to issue bad reviews, but I feel compelled to voice the truth here. Honestly, I would not even have posted a review, but I have received several emails from KYBoot urging me to do so.

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.

If I could give this company a minus… If I could give this company a minus number I would. I purchased their Baekdu boot and wore it ONE time! After my hike of 3 miles BOTH of the outside soles had cracked at the instep area. I immediately sent them back asking for a refund. They are refusing to refund me in full and are only offering 1/2 refund for the boots or replacement. I don’t want a replacement, I want my money back. This is horrible and not acceptable. Any suggestions? I emailed this company several months ago regarding this matter and still haven’t heard back from them!!!!! I’m trying to let them correct their wrong.
