Prince Albert of Monaco
[VIDEO] "Since we introduced the kyBounder to our training programme, our players have had far fewer injuries and their performance has improved. It is one of the best decisions I've made: the kyBounder is the perfect addition to our training sessions."
Arno del Curto, Head Coach of Davos Hockey Club
"When I tried the kyBoot for the first time I could not believe how comfortable these shoes were. After a few weeks of wearing them I knew they were not only comfortable but they really worked too! They relieved my backpain which is almost a constant companion of a professional athlete. I can't take them off my feet!"
Josef Marha, HC Davos
"I have been wearing kyBoots for several weeks and feel on cloud nine. If I could, I would even wear them at home and at night, I feel so comfortable in my kyBoots."
Ruth Wälti
"I often have bad back pains, so I wear the kyBoot whenever I can. I love the soft, supple shoe; it feels amazingly comfortable."
Pee Wirz, lead singer of the Dada ante portas rock group
"I am 74 years old and a passionate pilgrim. I first wore the kyBoot on my last 250-mile walk along the French Way. Walking was very pleasant and my knee pain was a thing of the past. I was especially surprised at how cushioned and agreeable it feels to walk on asphalt. I could feel the kyBoot strengthening the muscles in my legs and feet. I now only ever wear my sandals or my kyBoots."
Walter Keller, pensioner
"I’m addicted to kyBoots. These shoes make even a couch potato into a keen walker. It is such a pleasure: like being packed in cotton wool, combined with a rocking, yet stable sole. I’ve worn them every day for a month and never want to be parted from them. I knew the phrase “A dog is man’s best friend”, but now I also know the saying “A shoe is man’s best friend.” I am very happy to trust them as an intermediary between my feet and the ground."
Gilles Tschudi, actor
"At St. Gallen Bank, health management plays a very important role. Healthy staff not only feel better and fitter, they are also more highly motivated and perform better. One major element of workplace health at St. Gallen Bank is ergonomic work stations, which we have created using the kyBounder."
Simon Netzle, press officer at St. Galler Kantonalbank
"Since June 2009 I have been wearing kyBoots whenever possible in my job as a postal worker and all my spare time. I hardly have any back pain any more and my varicose veins are just a bad memory. I am delighted and no longer like to walk in any other shoes."
Erika Eggenberger, postal worker
Medical / Doctors
"Working as a sports doctor for the Canadian bob team gave me the chance to test out the kyBoot in everyday use and during light sports activities. I was very impressed by the kyBoot concept. Walking is very pleasant, and above all it very much activates the body. You can feel that the sole is a very good shock absorber and moves in all directions, but it never feels unstable or unpleasant. I myself suffer from foot problems, as I have very high arches, with the ball of the foot often having to bear a very heavy load. The shoe suited my foot shape and needs from the very start, and I have been able to wear shoes without insoles for the first time in many years."
Dr Andreas Gösele-Koppenburg, head of the Swiss Olympic Medical Center, Medical Director of Crossklinik Basel
[VIDEO] "kyBoots help you keep balance and activate your muscles, from your toes to your back: they are helpful in the treatment of pain in the heels and forefeet, and are a method of choice to support the treatment of pain in the Achilles tendon and back."
Dr Markus Müller, specialist in orthopaedic surgery, foot surgery practitioner
"Proprioception (our sense of our body's movements and relative position) and proprioceptive training are very important to avoid injury. The kyBoot is an effective tool for such training sessions; it can be worn the whole time and is very comfortable. It means that you are involved in a kind of constant training session without having to make a lot of effort. In the end I was able to try out the effect myself. Without any specific therapy, just from wearing the kyBoot, I was able to cure my Achilles tendonitis: the unstable sole strengthened the muscles stabilising my ankle joints, taking the burden off the rest of my overstressed muscles. I recommend the kyBoot following injuries to the lower extremities, for jobs in standing positions, for sportspeople and for the elderly, to prevent falls."
Dr Konrad Birrer, SGSM senior physician for surgery and sports medicine
"The kyBoot means you can walk actively and healthily even on hard surfaces. The soft, unstable sole is kind on your joints, exercises your muscles, improves your balance and stimulates receptors in your feet. From a medical perspective I thus specially recommend the kyBoot to patients with poor posture or knee problems."
Prof. Christian Gäbler, specialist in trauma surgery following accidents and sports injuries
[VIDEO] "From the daily clinical experience there are many areas of application for the kyBoot, for example instability of the back foot, where the lateral foot area many short, but also long muscles are. This tendon can be trained by the kyBoot very well."
Dr. Sommer, a specialist in orthopedic surgery, FussClinic Luzern
[VIDEO] "I've make the experience that the kybun method is very well suited, to get the right amount of exercise."
Dr. med Martin Winkler
