A GREAT SHOE - I highly reccomend this shoe for anyone who is on their feet all day at work. I have had a lot of problems with foot pain and have tried everything from orthotics to high priced clogs. These shoes have decreased the amount of discomfort in my feet tremendously. I work as a nurse and sometimes work 12 hour shifts. I highly reccomend these shoes.

Spira athletic shoes - Though pricey, these are wonderful, wear right out of the box shoes. I walk more than 8 miles a day. My feet are never tired. This is my 2nd pair. I won't change brands unless they change their lasts.

RECENTLY PURCHASED SPIRA CLASSIC LEATHER SHOE - Unfortunately, I didn't take enough time to try the shoes in the house. I am unable to wear them because I get a pain in the bottoms of my feet, apparently from the springs in them. When I first tried them on, they felt very comfortable, so I wore them outside once, & then discovered the pain, after wearing them for a longer period of time. I am a diabetic, & cannot risk hurting my feet. I realize this is not your fault.

Sprira Classic...Great Shoe - This is my second pair of Spiras and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. They fit my feet perfectly. I am between a medium and a narrow and can never find shoes that fit correctly. This width is ideal for me. The footbed is well padded with no skimpiness in the toe area. Best of all, they make my feet happy. I will never buy any other walking shoe.

About Spira
Spira makes it easier to stand, walk, run and compete without the stress and fatigue associated with traditional shoe midsole materials. Spira heel and forefoot spring configurations are engineered for specific activities to meet individual needs. Sport Biomechanics, Inc. tested the WaveSpring™ technology and found it had the highest return of energy of any shoe technology they have ever tested — 87-96%. Traditional midsole materials work through compression and often breakdown quickly. The WaveSpring™ is mechanical. The spring will outlast the shoe. The wearer will have a "new shoe" feel from the first day it is worn to the last!
Spira believes the WaveSpring™ technology will revolutionize the footwear industry as well as the purpose and function of footwear. As soon as you step into a pair of Spira shoes you will understand why.

1 yr old shoes - I've owned my Spira Classic shoes for almost a year now and they need replaced, but I wear them 5 to 6 days a week, as a School Police Officer. I'm on concrete floors all day long and had 3 foot surgeries 2 yrs ago. My feet no longer hurt thanks to the springs in my Spira shoes. Only problem that I've found with this shoe is the bottom rubber separates, but I will be ordering another pair today.

Walking On Air - I absolutly LOVE my Spira shoes! At work I'm usually on my feet 8-12 hours a day. My doctor recommended this brand to me for my lower back knee pains. With the removable sock liner I can add my custom orthodics or thick insole without having to purchase a bigger size. Thank You Zappos!

Comfort at last - What a blessing to have a shoe fit and be so comfortable without having to break it in. I was so very pleased with Zappos delivery. I ordered one day and the next day it was here. Wow what service it is a five star company to match the spira waling shoe.

spira classic - Sturdy, very comfortable almost from the beginning. Great for long hours of walking. Strangely enough, though, not comfortable at all for standing still long periods of time - defintely a 'motion' shoe. Pricey, yes, but as long as I'm on the move, they're great!
Brands I'd also recommend: New Balance, Quark, Dansko

Greatest shoes - Dear Zappos loyalty team and Tammy: I don't think you know what a wonderful thing you did for me this day. My children live in South Dakota - I live in Florida. I’ve been disabled with degenerative joint and connective tissue disease and fibromialgia for 8 years. the most important article of clothing I wear are my 'shoes'; recently my sister who is an 'lpn' found out about your shoes - so with mother's day coming up, I hinted around to my children 'I needed shoes' and sent them email of your site with the 'classic leather' white shoes 'spira' - I needed the shoes terrible because one reason I have a friend visiting me I haven't seen in over 4 years and it is difficult for me to walk without good shoes on my feet. we’ll, my kids took the 'hint' - order my shoes one may 3, 2005, and sent me a little note telling me - that they would be here in 5 - 7 days but 'free shipping' - I looked up the tracking number inquiring as to when I might expect the shoes - and your awesome loyalty department associate, Tammy, took the time to put my shoes on a faster shipping arrangement and I received them may 4 around 3pm.... I’ve never been happier in my life with a pair of shoes.... I hardly know they are on my feet except that when I walk, I can walk straighter, my degenerative joints in my ankles are supported which is less pain. And if my friend who is coming tomorrow wants to go somewhere and they don't have scooters available, I will be much more comfortable walking with my cane. It may not sound like a big thing to some people, but the fit of these shoes and the help I get balancing myself walking is incredible. Thank you again for your kindness in delivering my shoes today... ‘It was just the most perfect day I could get them' -- and the best mothers day present I’ve ever had... Sincerely and god bless, Jackie Lee

Spring Shoes are a welcome comfort!! I a new nurse who will be working 12 hour shifts. These shoes will be great for me. I have worn them traveling and found them comfortable all day long. They are a slight bit heavier than normal tennis shoes, but the support and comfort is far superior to regular shoes. I am a happy customer!!

Longevity of sole - My spira is 14 months old and the sole has one hole and the rest of the sole is very thin so I can't wear it much longer. I like the shoe a lot but I expected that this shoe, for the money, would last longer like New Balance does. Is there a guarantee on this shoe? The sales person told me it would last for years and I didn't find that to be true.

Spira classic leather - I am a letter carrier for us postal service. I am always looking for a comfortable shoe that wears and lasts the way I need it to. So far, this shoe has done that. I did not have any "break-in" period. I wore them all day the first time (8hrs straight). I am finding that are good on flat surfaces. However, I do find that if I misstep, the balance or support is not there from side to side. I am curious to see how long these shoes last. Typically, I wear my work shoes "out" in about 4months.

spira footwear - These shoes are the best I have tried in the last 20 years of being on my feet for an average of 14-16 hours a day nearly 7 days a week. The cushion is the best. The only problem I have is in the summer they do cause a corn on one toe. In the cooler months they couldn't be better. There isn't a perfect shoe for me but the Spira is the closest to perfect that I have tried. I love them. The cushion in this shoe is what keeps me in business. I was at the point of no return when I tried them. The first step I took in them was wonderful and still is. If I could have one wish it would be that the uppers and the insole would last a little longer . The cushion never seems to wear out.
Brands I'd also recommend: saucony is the only other shoe that I have been able to wear successfully

Love the shoes - My podiatrist recommended these shoes for support and comfort. And they are great. Wish the same concept was in a dressier shoe.

Spira Walking Shoe - Very comfortable shoe for walking or working on your feet. The heel spring is especially helpful. Personally, I like a spongier sole base, so I added an insert. This also helped with the fit as the heel was too wide for my foot.

Well after several ordering snags, I finally got the right shoe in the right size. The thing is, once I got them I wasn't all that impressed. I have LOVED my old Spiras, but these just didn't measure. Seriously lacking arch support.

I have osteoarthritis in both knees and need shoes that have low impact. The Spira Classic works well.I do not have knee pain when I wear these. Zappos delivery is great. Received them the next day!!!
