Thanks to the shock-absorbing, air-cushioned support of their proprietary soles, kybun shoes are great at reducing joint or heel pain and at overcoming limited mobility issues by helping people improve their gait. But their looks do not always appeal to younger or more active or more style-conscious users, especially with their thick soles, and some may also find them a little too "wobbly," or have reservations about whether the ones with mostly fabric or mesh uppers are durable enough to stand up to frequent sporting activities. The new Rolle White with a smooth leather upper is a great answer to all those concerns, and it also comes in two other colours in a combination of materials.

The Rolle White is one of kybun's models featuring their lower-profile "Tropo" sole which has about one-third less of a springy rebound effect than their other types of soles to enable a greater range of activities, and also has a predominantly full grain leather upper (with some mesh areas, as well, for ventilation). It also has some padding in its collar and tongue, and a zipper on one side, to make it easier to get on or off.
As such, we can see its appeal for two main sets of users:
* those who'd like a pure white shoe for style reasons, who either don't intend to make this their mainstay, or who don't need the full rebound effect because their joint or heel pain, posture, or mobility issues are not currently that severe, or who have difficulties maintaining their balance; or,
* those who want more than just a walking shoe, but one that's both stable and hardy enough to actually jog in or play court sports like basketball, tennis, badminton, pickleball, volleyball, or floor hockey in. With only 70% of the depth of the original Nimbus sole, the Tropo sole purposely has less of a trampoline effect than the other types of kybun soles, to make it more stable, and its tread pattern was also modified to make it less 'squeaky' on gym floors. (For more information, please see our article, About the kybun Cirrus and Tropo Soles: Even More Comfortable to Wear.)
Alternately, if you are not apt to be playing intensive sports in them, you can also get this style of shoe in two other versions, with a combination of either mesh fabric and more of a suede style leather in their uppers, for the Navy version, or a combination of smooth and suede style leather in the Black.
Like the other kybun styles with a Tropo sole (whose tread pattern is shown here), all three Rolle models come with a removable insole, which you can either leave in to benefit from a little additional cushioning, or take out if you find them tight or want to wear extra thick or two pairs of socks.
