SPIRA Odessy WaveSpring Sneakers Running Walking Size 9 US Aquamarine Silver

Description: The shoes are light weight (about 13 oz each) and are constructed of leather and a mesh material that is very breathable (but not see through).The molded EVA foot-bed/insoles can be removed to accommodate orthotics or your favorite 3rd party insoles.What really makes these shoes unique is the WaveSpring technology which is located in the heel and ball of the foot. You can see the locations of the springs by looking at the bottom of the shoes. Each style of Spira shoes have a different WaveSpring configuration depending on the type of shoe. The Odyssey has 3 springs as shown above. The springs are made of light weigh stainless steel which won’t break down over time. In other words, they are super springy and almost feel like you’re walking on a bouncy cloud. They are very comfortable and no, you can not actually feel the springs that are embedded in the shoes. More info: There are 4 principal benefits of the WaveSpring™ Technology 1) The WaveSpring™ not only cushions with every step, but returns almost the same amount of energy. Up to 96% of the energy is returned to the wearer. This “recycled” energy allows you to participate in your activities with far less stress on the joints, ligaments and the entire body than traditional footwear. 2) The WaveSpring™ reduces peak impact forces throughout the gait cycle by 20%. It is during these peaks that injuries usually occur. With the reduction is peak force, injuries are reduced. Elite athletes report that they can train and race at a more intense level and be able to repeat the intensity in subsequent workouts and races. 3) Because the WaveSpring™ is mechanical and works through deflection and opposed to compression, it never breaks down and wearer has a new shoe feel for the life of the shoe. The shoe will wear out before the technology. 4) The WaveSpring™ is very tunable. There is a different sized spring dependent upon the size of the shoe, and a different spring configuration dependent upon the proposed activity. It is truly customized to the wearer. Why are there so many different spring configurations? The WaveSpring™ configurations (one, two or three springs) are tuned for particular activities. For example, a Spira walking shoe has two large springs (one in the forefoot and one in the heel) for a more bouncy feel and superior cushioning needed for walking or standing all day. However, the running shoes utilize three smaller size WaveSpring™s (two in the forefoot and one in the heel) to provide more forefoot flexibility while still reducing peak impact forces.
