I run six days a week 5 to 10 miles a day. I wear Asics Gel Kayano's. I read about this brand and was really hoping this would be great to increase my endurance without causing fatigue in my legs. I put these on and thought I was standing on concrete. Totally stiff and hard. My right foot felt like it was rolling out just standing. I ran in them one time and finished with a shin splint! I have not had one of those in over a year. I tried to wear them again the next day and took them off after 20 minutes, putting my old Asics on and felt relief. I can say when you switch back to a "normal" running shoe you can actually tell the spring was in there. But I noticed nothing different than my other shoes except discomfort. I am sending them back and not going to try them again.

I love Spira shoes, and have had two pairs of their walking shoes. These are good athletic shoes, but not quite as fabulous as the leather walking shoe. For some reason they are not quite as springy and bouncy, although they are still better than most athletic shoes. Also,for some reason they seem to run small. I wear a size 9 in the Spira leather walking shoe, but had to order a 9 1/2 in these. Otherwise, I am satisfied with these shoes, but also feel that they may be a bit overpriced.

Order was delivered fast. These are only shoe me and my husband can wear without foot pain. I highly recommend them.

These shoes are springy and my feet don't get tired after walking for hours. This is my second pair in a couple of years. The first pair I was advised to order a 1/2 size larger but they always felt too big so I wore thick socks. This pair I ordered in my regular size and they fit 100% better and I can wear them with thinner socks.

Shoe was great condition but only gave 1 star because box said 10 wide but shoe was just a 10.. kept because fit ok.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. I have Plantar fasciitis and my feet don't hurt when I wear these shoes. They are fantastic!

I've found this Spira Women's Genesis2 to be the best thing I've purchased for real comfort while walking or exercising. I love the bounce that absorbs the pounding as the feet hits the ground. The steel springs really works.

Shoe felt great for about 6 months, but now I am feeling the springs, especially the lateral side one under the top of my foot, and it is now causing pain instead of relieving it. I am going to try some slip in arch supports to see if that will help.

I have tried 3 different pairs of Spiras (clogs and walking shoe as well) and they all seem to breakdown the same way and amount of time.

I am ordering my 4th pair now, but I do really wish for the price of them, they lasted longer than 6 months (and I am not a runner or long distance walker....this is just typical stay at home mom activity, in and out of the car, grocery shopping etc). I am back in school for nursing, and love these shoes for clinicals, but am afraid once I am working, I will have to replace them every 3 months!

But, they are great for knee and low back pain.

These are the only athletic shoes to own. They were shipped promptly and are perfect. If you are looking to have happy feet--run to find these sneakers.
