Put some spring back in your step while reducing stress and fatigue!

Spira® has gained nationwide publicity for the revolutionary WaveSpring™ technology in its running shoes, but now the same amazing technology is available for more leisurely walkers as well, in the Spira® Casual Walker.

Whether you’re a walker, or just someone who yearns for a comfortable, cushioning leisure shoe, we invite you to try these amazing shoes. The cushioning comfort is exceptional. And equally important and noticeable, especially for those who are physically active and those who have to stay on their feet all day, there is a return of energy with each step you take. The secret? Revolutionary WaveSpring™ technology. A stainless steel spring embedded in the heel of each shoe not only helps reduce joint stress and redistribute impact forces between foot and ground, but it also provides a return of energy.

Essentially, however fast-paced or relaxed your walk may be, this shoe allows you to recycle your own energy, with the added bonus of reducing fatigue. Tests conducted at Michigan State University show that the WaveSpring™ returns energy that might otherwise be lost to the ground. Unlike most athletic shoes that rely on foams, air, and gel materials to cushion the feet, WaveSpring™ cushioning is mechanical, so there’s no cushioning breakdown throughout the life of the shoe. You’ll have a new shoe feel until it’s time for a new pair! The comfort lasts because the cushioning lasts.

The Athletic Walker features a contemporary design with breathable mesh uppers for added ventilation and comfort. It has a slip-resistant sole and a single spring in the heel. It’s designed to be comfortable and "broken in" from the moment you first put it on. The shoe inserts can be removed and replaced with an orthodic if needed.
