Säntis 20 Black Men

A year ago I suddenly suffered what felt like severe plantar fasciitis in my right foot, which meant I could only hobble at best for many weeks. With appropriate exercises and 2 pairs of Kybun shoes, I gradually became able to walk more comfortably. Recently I bought a pair of Santis 20 boots, prior to a walking holiday in Cornwall. I was/am delighted with the boots. I could walk over rough terrain without pain and they have allowed me to get back to one of my great pleasures—a pleasure I thought I might have lost a year ago.

I have delayed any feedback until I had properly used these. Recently, I was walking in the Lake District, UK. These boots took me up Blencathra (868m), from Rosthwaite to Grasmere over Greenup Ridge and around Watendlath. Substantial walking in all three cases. They were comfortable, with the Kybun shock absorbing sole really cushioning every step, particularly downhill. As I have a Mortons Neuroma on one foot, such impact protection is important. My only point to note is that they do not contain a 'Goretex' or equivalent waterproof lining. However, I applied Nikwax leather and fabric waterproofing beforehand which does an amazing job with water repellency. I would recommend these for anyone who needs high levels of cushioning and shock absorption when out walking on hills and mountains.
