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.

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.

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

Terrible customer service Terrible customer service! Purchased 2 pairs of their shoes! Loved the first pair and needed questions answered to the Elm Taupe boots that I found as stiff as a ski boot! Never answer emails and forget calling them! So now I need to return with unanswered questions costing almost $25 to return because if you return, they charge you for the shipping for the outgoing boot! Wanted to like them and recommended to my 55 over community. Lost a customer!

Wet Feet Note: I am a UK customer. I bought a pair of jungfrau 17 walking boots about four years back at just under £300 hoping they'd help me keep active with my post traumatic ankle arthritis. Disappointingly my ankle was too painful so I couldn't wear them for the first couple of years. Then I had ankle replacement surgery and discovered I could wear them - wonderful shock absorption and support. Sadly in approximately 15 months the rubber around them cracked in a couple of places and I started getting wet feet. I complained but was told the guarantee had run out - of course I'd had them for much longer than I'd used them. Now I have two bike puncture repair patches on them and continue wearing them though they look a little eccentric. For the cost this is not good and sadly I'm now looking for another type of better quality boot with the equivalent shock absorption.
