«Thanks to the kybun shoe, we can reduce patients intake of medication. As a result, the shoe is a key tool in therapy.»
Studies and experts
Scientific studies and expert opinions.
There are numerous statements from medical experts and satisfied customers that recommend and verify the effectiveness of kybun products
One such study was conducted by ETH Zurich, for example, in which kybun technology was compared with other market-leading health shoes and barefoot shoes.
The results showed that kybun shoes trigger greater movements in the foot and that the movement curves are more harmonious when stepping. The sole of the shoes significantly dampens the force exerted on the body in the first phase of the stride. Further details on this study and its results can be found here.

Experts opinions about the Swiss air-cushion shoe
Dr Andreas Gösele
«The shoe adapted very well to my foot shape and needs, and I was able to wear a shoe without insoles again.»
Dr Sabine Bleuel
«kybun shoes combine 3 important factors of healthy and comfortable footwear. The elasticity of each step, comfort from the shape and fit of the shoe and light training of the lower body, thanks to the principle of the non-rigid foot.»
Prof Dr Christian Gäbler
«From a medical point of view, I recommend the kybun shoe especially to patients with posture or knee problems.»

kybun ETH study
Introduction
Walking is the most important form of transportation and consequently people spend a lot of time on their feet.
To understand the influence of Karl sen. & jr. Müller's «kybun» and «Joya» to examine the gait pattern when walking and running as well as the forces on the feet, the Biomechanical Institute of the ETH Zurich carried out a study with gait analysis. The study included 12 test persons (barefoot, kybun, Joya, MBT and 3 test persons Joyssy), high-speed video recordings of the ground step, kinetic measurements of the ground reaction forces and kinematic measurements of the position and movement of the body.
"You can try kybun shoes, but not operations!"
Karl Müller, Movement Scientist & graduate engineer of ETH (Zurich)
