GBI 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.

GBNow I can walk again I'm so happy that I came across kyBoot shoes. I suffered from Plantar fasciitis and walking caused pain in my foot and heal, it made me feel really old to be hobbling around. With these wonderful shoes now I can walk again and it is liberating! I walk everywhere with a great sense of freedom and independence. I have three pairs, an everyday shoe, a sandal and a gold sandal for special occasions, i won't wear anything else.

GBTwo 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.

GBZig-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.

GBKicked metatarsalgia pain to the curb! The shoes fit like a dream and arrived sooner than expected. They are beautiful and I already feel relief in my knee. We have ordered many pair, and say without hesitation that they restored my husband’s quality of life. Just two years ago his metatarsalgia was so intense he couldn’t walk from the car to a restaurant and now using the shoes has been able to resume his daily walks and just last week enjoyed an entire day at Disney World. Thank you so very much.
