Wearing kyBoot Swiss air-cushion shoes means you can walk on a soft, springy, moss-like surface at all times. Before, after or during a hike , you often have to walk across several kilometres of tarmac. Hiking in kyBoot shoes is far more fun because the soft, elastic air-cushion soles absorb the impact of your foot on the rocky ground.
kyBoot shoes allow you to enjoy exercise again. kyBoot shoes noticeably relieve the strain on your joints, activate the vein pump, strengthen your deep inner muscles and support the cardiovascular system. Older people in particular can improve mobility and balanceby walking in kyBoot shoes, which is an effective way of reducing the risk of falls.
Is it possible to go hiking without any pain despite knee, hip and back problems?
You’re probably familiar with this problem, too: Even after short hikes, your feet burn, your knees hurt and you struggle to maintain your balance. The mere thought of walking downhill makes us weak at the knees. The good news for everyone suffering from these problems is that we have a solution for you! It’s simple: we start with your feet. In any case, it is crucial to wear the right type of shoes when hiking.
Should hiking boots provide support?
No. Scientific findings show that the feet – not the shoes – should provide the support. The soft, elastic sole of the kyBoot shoe offers your feet greater freedom of movement and thereby trains the muscles.
Isn’t it a bit dangerous to walk on the soft-elastic soles in the countryside?
No, quite the opposite. You’ll be surprised by how much safer you feel in kyBoot shoes than in supportive hiking boots once you get used to them! kyBoot hiking shoes are suitable for light outdoor activities as well as all simple hiking routes. Sporty hiking enthusiasts have told us how much they enjoy hiking in the kyBoot shoes. We would only dissuade you from wearing kyBoot shoes if you plan to go hiking on steeply sloping fields.

Important for newcomers
New wearers of kyBoot shoes should know that it is important to take a pair of ‘normal’ shoes with them in their rucksack when they go on longer hikes. It takes some time to get used to the soft, springy sole. The air-cushion sole activates different muscles, which can result in noticeable reactions being felt in the body.

Hotel guest Paladina Ticino, Switzerland
This is my first time getting out in my kyBoot shoes. I’ve already done a two-and-a-half-hour hike. I feel like I’m walking on moss. It’s fantastic. I have knock knees and haven’t had any problems without insoles. I’m absolutely delighted.
Jürg Sieber, adviser at Nahrin, Widnau, Switzerland
I wore kyBoot shoes at the Christmas market in Rorschach. I had skiing socks on in the shoes and my feet weren't cold at all. Usually I always had to wear walking boots. But in kyBoot shoes it was wonderful. I've tried it a couple of times now. At the market in Arbon. I felt much better than in walking boots. In any case, it's no good when you have heavy shoes on all day. But in kyBoot shoes it was wonderful.

My hiking friends also wear the kyBoot. For example, a neighbour of mine swears by the kyBoot and has also purchased various models to suit all occasions. She is also very impressed.
