Shoes with a boost? |
| Rating: |  |
| A sneeker-like walking shoe with a funny sounding insert. This shoe comes with an installed footbed where the heel is about a centemeter lower than the ball of the foot. I also comes with a second insert footbed to replace the one installed, if you don't like the heel lower than the ball of the foot. I've been walking with the installed footbed (with the lower heel) and found it noticeable but not unpleasant. The literature that comes with the shoe indicates that the lower heel is better for your foot and leg muscles. Otherwise, this lightweigh shoe is much like a training sneeker. The produce information in the Sierra ad indicate the shoe has a waterproof membrane which not mentioned in the literature that came with the shoe making me wonder if the ad is incorrect. |

| Did some walking in them today and they felt great. No breakin period, just comfort out of the box. They appear very well constructed. I guess time will tell, but if you are pondering of pair of these you likely won't be dissapointed. There is an added, optional insert that raises the heel, but it seems worthless and makes them feel too tight. |

| I bought these to relieve back fatigue as I work on my feet in a science center. So far so good after a week. I initially experienced minor irritation of plantar and achilles tendon due to the negative heel design but once I got stretched out it is gone. |

| Bought this lighter weight model to try out--I walk about 3.5 miles(half up steep hill--a day on pavement and dirt, and no longer get ankle pains coming back down. Bought half size up--voila. |

| They are a little tight but I stretched them - I haven't had them long enough to make other judgements right now. |

Comfortable Swiss Athletic Shoe |

| Lightweight, comortable shoe. The dorsiflexion forces good posture and can be felt in tightening the calf area after 8 hrs use. |
