kybun products for a more active and dynamic workplace

More tasks made easier with kybun

The revolutionary kybun movement concept is a simple way to improve workplace ergonomics.

Exercising while standing upright on the springy elastic kybun mat is the healthy alternative to sitting passively. The springy elastic structure of the mat subtly keeps the foot and leg muscles in constant activity in order to maintain balance and posture. What’s more, combining the kybun mat with a standing desk is an important part of health management. A comfortable workplace increases motivation and employee satisfaction and reduces sick leave absences.

Opinions/customer testimonials

Galina Babarika from Czech Republik

Galina Babarika from Czech Republik

I have scoliosis since childhood, probably as a result of 1 cm one leg short, I'm still living with pain (in the back, below the right shoulder blade, then began to manifest pain in the hip). I did not know nothing about Swiss footwear brand kybun. Fortuitously, I met a man that works with the company kybun. I studied the technology and started with trust to wear kybun shoes. After one year and two months since I got the kybun shoe, I can 100% certainty that biomechanoterapi works. No pain under the shoulder blade! I have no pain in the hip, strengthened stability in the legs. I thank God that he took care of my health and gave me new friends.

At first I deliberately drew my colleagues' attention to my new, sexy shoes. It was important to me to show that I hadn't chosen that look. Now it's a running gag. Now plenty of others have bought shoes like these. Quality has triumphed. The new shoes I've seen are looking better and better. The black ones are discreet. I'd like to buy another pair for speed-walking. And I'd like to get a pair of these for walking in flat country, too.
