Spira is a young company that is gaining national attention with its remarkable athletic running and walking shoes. Spira is premised upon a proprietary unique shoe technology called WaveSpring™. Energy that is otherwise lost to the ground is recycled to the wearer, providing a remarkable combination of cushioning and energy return. Unlike traditional shoe midsoles made primarily of foams, rubber compounds, or polymers, WaveSpring™ technology stores and disburses energy with every step.

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.

I have spent the past year looking for the perfect shoe for zumba. I finally found it. I have been having pain for a long time as I do a lot of high impact instructing. These took my pain from unbearable to non-existent! I probably could have ordered a half size up. Arch support is fabulous, I'm able to jump easily, I don't have problems with lateral movements, and I have no pain. These shoes are a dream, and I immediately ordered a pair for running. Great for anyone with foot, knee, or back problems, or for the person who is hard on shoes! Didn't even need orthotics either!

Cute shoes. They design of the shoe has a split sole so I returned them. I need the arch support.

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?!

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!

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.
