| Spira Men's Leather - I ordered another pair and style of Spira Men's tennis shoes for my husband in his regular size 10 M and they were a little too narrow and a little too short. I went up a half size to 10.5 and they were still a little narrow, so we decided to go with the black leather (they were currently out of white) in the wide width and that did the trick! He has had two knee surgeries and we thought the springs would help when we do lots of walking. So far so good. He has started wearing them to the office some days he likes them so much. Being black they almost pass for dress shoes :) I think we're going to put our name on the list to be notified when they come in stock in his size in the white. |

| Spira's classic leather in white - The online web site is easy to use. An Email was sent by Zappos informing me the item was in stock and delivery was on the way. The ordered shoes arrived in a few day's as expected. The shoe's are great, the 13th wonder of the world. I have poor feeling in my feet and they always hurt, while wearing these shoes for hours is a pleasant experience. I would and will buy several other pair of Spira shoes to use in a daily rotation. The cost is a premium price but so were the Nike shox that I wore 90% of the time. When it comes to foot comfort a premium cost is acceptable if it allows me to be more mobile with less pain. |

| Just returned from a vacation in Paris. Walked from one end to the other every day. I can honestly say that I never would have walked all over had it not been for these shoes. I have flat feet and my feet tire easily after 1/2 hour walk on sidewalks. Not with these shoes! I can't say enough about them; they are a revolution in walking shoes. They perform as advertised and better. They are goofy looking, but who cares, these are walking shoes not fashion shoes. Order wider as they are narrow. If you are going on a vacation that requires a lot of walking and you have bad feet you need these shoes, trust me! |

| These shoes are horrible kitchen shoes - Great shoes for the first few weeks, then they become a horrible kitchen shoe. The little slip resistant treads that make the shoe slip proof wear off quickly making it a pair of ice skates, even on kitchen floors in a restaurant that doesn't use fryers. I've now fell twice in the last month due to poor traction in the kitchen. Plus, when the tread wears off your shoes constantly squeak as you walk. The comfort level is superior to any shoe I've ever worn in this environment, but do not try to market this as a quality kitchen shoe. |

| Shoes are terrific; most comfortable I ever wore. Extra wide size was/is a big plus for me. I am on my 4th pair. I walk 4 miles a day on my treadmill. They hold up well. Zappos is one of if not the best company I have ever dealt with. I have made purchases 5 different times now. Always a good experience. Had 1 issue 6 months ago. They fixed it so fast I could not believe it; and this is always the real test of a company. Long as I need to cover my feet I will do business with Zappos. |

| First, ordering this shoe was extremely easy even when I ordered the wrong size there was no problem the return was easy and the new shoe arrived within two days. This shoe is the only tennis shoe I can wear and it is comfortable, easy to care for and the support helps align my knees so I walk pain free.The only thing that is a negative is that I wear them everyday and the soles wear down fast and I have to order a new pair every 30 days. |

| The shoes are wonderful! I stand/walk on concrete for 8 hours a day. I have tried prescription orthopedic inserts in expensive shoes and they are good for about 6 hours then hurt like h---. To help these shoes, I did two things. The laces are way too long so I cut 8 inches off each end (16 inches per lace). I also took a pair of soft drug store inserts and put them between the Spira insert and shoe. It makes the shoe very soft on the foot. |

| COULDN'T DO WITHOUT THEM - The Spria Classic Leather shoes are everything they claim to be. I suffer with spinal stenosis and have bad knees. The Spira shoes with the built in springs has improved my ability to get around. I have dress shoes and tennis shoes all Spira Brand and purchased the Classic Leather about a month ago. I can't live without them. They take the pressure off my spine and knees and now I get around without pain. I can't say enough good things about them. |

| Great Shoes - I purchased the Classic Black Leather for my husband. His job requires him to walk and stand on concrete for 9 hours a day. He has tried many different brands over the years, but he said this is the best shoe by far. Although he has only had the shoes for three weeks, he is talking about ordering another pair. I did order a 1/2 size larger after reading the other reviews and he is glad I did. |

| Extraordinary Comfort - This is a great shoe! With my knee and sciatica nerve problems I've been looking for quite a while for a shoe that would let me get back to walking for some exercise (at 300lbs I really, really need to!). Within two days of starting to wear these babies I could - nothing else changed in my routine - just putting these on. I urge anyone in a similar situation to give them a try. |
