Spira Spring Shoes
These shoes have built-in, flat springs under the heel and the ball of the foot. The springs are imbedded in the mid-soles so the springs are not visible. The shoe looks like a normal shoe and only you will know why you have a spring in your walk.
According to Ray Fredericksen, President, Sports Biomechanics, Inc.:ShoeSpring has the highest energy return of any shoe technology we have tested. The spring returned 87% - 96% of the potential energy. ShoeSpring functions more like the natural biomechanism of the human foot to store energy during foot contact and release it efficiently during propulsion.
