Spira

I bought these for Zumba. I use orthotics yet my knees still hurt, due to pronating inward (flat feet). I had hoped for smooth pivoting to prevent knee injury, but didn't get it. They were also too narrow.

The joint on my big toe is fused. It is very painful to walk without these shoes - no pain at all with these shoes. The tiny springs in the sole make all the difference - could not do without them.

These shoes are extremely comfortable. I work 12 hour shifts and my feet feel great at the end of the day. They are true to size (I have wide feet) and require no break-in period.

I purchased these shoes for Zumba and all I have to say is these are the best shoes I've used thus far. My knees and my back aren't hurting. I can actually do jumps and twists now. I've used several different shoes (Nike and New Balance) that were recommended for Zumba and they were nothing compared to these. I hope they do not stop this shoe. I don't love the pink (my whole family laughed at me for wearing pink), but for the level of comfort, who cares?!

In the brief time I have owned these I now understand something. At first they are great because they are wide and fit well, but soon thereafter, the poor quality material composition surfaces. Inside, the cloth lining has already deteriorated and let the stuffing come out. And the first to go was the poorly bonded sole curling up on the toe. The sole separated and I had to glue and clamp the sole back down. At these prices I will NOT buy them again.

I love this shoe. It is very comfortable. I also love how fast you get your order from Zappos. They are very good.

I am a Zumba dance teacher, 10 classes a week. I was suffering from plantar fasciitis and was ready to give up classes. These shoes saved me. They are so lightweight, flexible, smooth bottom for a nice pivot and amazing support if you like to jump. I added a spenco arch support for a little extra arch. Wonderful shoes!

This shoe caused me to have a bad fall in my home. I am badly bruised and really have suffered.

This is a well-fitting shoe. I've got size 12 feet which are narrow-to-medium in width, and the width on these is great. The sole does energize your step and is comfortable right from the start. I do wish the tongue was just a touch longer, it doesn't slip down, but it just barely comes above the lace area.

I really wish these would have worked. For my foot issue, I need a shoe that is not so flexible. Rats. For someone else, it would probably be a plus. They are incredibly light. They did fit well, getting a half size larger than normal. They just don't have the support I need in the arch and toe areas.

These are the best shoes I have ever worn. I have 3 damaged disks from a car accident. Because of these shoes I can easily walk my dog 3-4 times further with no lower back pain. My only negative is that they're the only shoes I want to wear, so my personal dress code has been taken down a notch to only athletic wear... Would love this technology in a casual and/or dress shoe. I also think they run 1/2 size short. I'm a B/C width and I thought they were perfect.

I wear orthodics and these shoes were perfect for my inserts. The springs help me walk on hard surfaces without pain.

These shoes were my third try. Like "they" say, "The third time's the charm." After looking and looking and ordering and sending back, I tried these Spira Classics. The reviews sold me. When they arrived and I slipped them on I was amazed. I will be ordering another pair. I have a knee injury and as I've gotten older, it has become more problematic. The shoes allow me to stay on my feet longer without as much knee pain.

These shoes offer unparalleled comfort for my aging feet (thinning fat pads) . Many kudos for the wave spring technology.

These sneakers do run small and I thank Zappos for working with me to get the correct fit. At first, these sneakers did help my neuroma but after wearing for more than an hour I found that my toes were feeling numb. Also, I have a big toe joint problem and that the outside of my toe felt discomfort It is my hope that once my new orthotics are finished that this will help alleviate my pain. I will post again in a month,

I love the sneaker because it is so "cushiony", but if I order it again, I would order it one size larger (with the hope that the ankle would not slide). It ends right at the end of my big toe and I can't wear heavy socks with it. I kept it though because it looks good, it feels wonderful because it is so cushioned (even though a bit short). Definitely order in larger size. Runs a little short, especially if you want to wear socks.

I love these shoes. I just purchased my 3rd pair. I have very wide feet. The extra wides fit me very well. I also have very bad knees, close to needing replacements. These shoes provide good sturdy support for the foot, as well as gentle support for the knees when walking or standing. Definitely worth the price. I wear the black ones with my slacks to work; not the most stylish or attractive, but so worth it to not have the knee and back pain at the end of the day.

These shoes fit and start out great. Then the low quality materials of the inside of the heel area begins to deteriorate. I had my shoes a little over 90 days and there is a hole worn through on the inside liner material.For the price of the shoes, the construction material should be high quality and it perhaps is not.

Zappos website was easy to use, easy to find and order what I was looking for, and delivery was super fast. When I tried them on, my shoes fit well. Zappos sent a note with the shoes that made me feel secure that I could easily contact them and return the shoes if I needed to, but the shoes fit perfectly and I kept them. This was my second purchase from Zappos, very satisfied, especially with the service.

Hands down the most comfortable, well-fitting pair of sneakers I've ever owned! Only Spira sneakers from now on for this girl. :)
