Customer Reviews Spira Walking Shoes

Shoe fits great. I wear a 6E wide and not easy to find. So glad to find a shoe that fits and has style. Most shoes I find have Velcro straps and are horrid in the style department.

I have wide feet, hammer toes, and I'm overweight, so fit and comfort are always a challenge. Never heard of Spira brand before finding them on Zappos, but the reviews encouraged me to try them. The toe box is very roomy, compared to other brands, even Orthofeet and NB. But the toe box height was still a little snug for my hammer toes. The width was true to specs and very comfortable. The mesh material in the toe box is already giving a bit, molding to my foot, so comfort increases with each wear. Besides fit, these are by far the most comfortable walking shoe I've owned. The construction, shape and flexibility of the sole allows my feet to roll as I walk, rather than slamming down on the ground, thus reducing impact on my legs, knees and back. The sensation of the spring technology is subtle, which I think is a good thing. As for style, that's the least important factor for me in choosing footwear - I go for fit, durability, comfort and quality first. But I have received quite a few compliments on the styling of these sneaks.

Quite simply the best athletic shoe I’ve owned. With my 4E width , finding a shoe that fits is difficult. I’ve worn NB for years simply because they offer widths. Spira is simply more comfortable. I’ve logged about 40 miles so far and they maintain there shape and comfort , I’m a customer for life.

Very plush feeling sneaker, takes a little getting used to the "spring back" sensation from the footbed. But out of the box they feel comfortable and the fit (11/4E in my case) is accurate.

Most comfortable shoe right out of the box! I’m a big guy that is on his feet all day and these have the width that so many others don’t make. I am now a SPIRA fan . Case close

So far the shoe is tremendous. Great fit and comfort. Walked 4 miles in them today and my feet feel great . I’ll have to wait a few weeks to see how they hold up. Definitely a more comfortable fit than the NB940 they replaced.

I bought these shoes for my husband. He stated they are the most awesome shoes. Perfect fit and the most comfortable shoes he has ever worn. He has never had a pair of shoes the gave cushion to the arch and his toes. Wonderful shoes. He will order these again.

OK ... After repeatedly complaining to Zappo's reps about the lack of mfg quality control and inability to make the exact same shoe , the exact same physical dimension , twice in a row , I am now praying that this mfg can get it right ... This Spira CloudWalker , size 13-6E , fits me perfectly and with with welcomed comfort out of the box ... I have yet to try my personal support insoles , they feel that good .. I am ordering another pair asap , in a different color , hoping that this mfg gets my previous complaint corrected ...

Fits great. Looks Great. Very comfortable. Usually buy n/b or brooks. better styling

These were the most expensive shoes I have ever bought from Zappos but I liked the style and was very pleased when I tried them on. Size and width were perfect for my 14 / 4E feet. Very comfortable to walk in them.

Pretty darn impressive. They use a technology for the footbed that seems quite different than everyone else. The results confirm that. Very comfortable. Puts my body in a very neutral position for walking.

Excellent!

Seems like a good shoe, a little snug at first but breaking in nicely

I’m now several months into my first pair of these shoes. They have become the primary walking shoes for my 4E high instep, narrow heel, orthotic assisted feet. They are a bit heavier than my Asics athletic shoes, but are very comfortable for all day wear. Note that I have removed the insoles and replaced with plain Dr Scholls pillow soles. I’ll buy these again.

This style runs smaller in both width and length than other styles that I have bought such as Spira WaveWalker

This shoe has a nice design, and was comfortable on my feet in terms of support, but found it to be quite warm to wear.

Honestly, I was nervous about spending this amount of money on a shoe. But you DO get what you pay for. The high quality of the shoe's construction is apparent immediately. I wear custom inserts. The first thing I did was to test the shoe by walking around the house. The shoe felt comfortable and supportive without inserts. That was a first. My plan is wear them in a little more at work, then hit the area paved trail system. Am curious to see how they do in cold and wet conditions.

Wonderful sneakers, they are about the most comfortable I've ever had. Why only 4 stars overall? For the most minor of reasons. Those steel springs make it great. it also sets off the metal detectors in the airport!!! Still, I'm buying more of them.

The shoes are very heavy for a sneaker and warm. They fit well and help with my neuroma.

Shoes overall fit okay, however, the design created rubbing points along the top of the shoe near ankles.

Overall nice looking shoe. Feels narrow. Doesn’t feel like a 6E.

VERY comfortable fit but i have to agree with the other review that that these shoes were very hot.

I have pain issues and look for a shoe that is softer, which this one wasn't.

Not very durable. Mesh ripped opened after light usage.

I was very disappointed with these shoes considering how well they have been reviewed. I bought a pair of 11 4E, and the fit was pretty close to other 4E shoes I've owned. I thought they felt a tad bit wider than my Asics or Nikes but just by a little bit. Honestly, these felt like walking with wood or bricks tied to my feet. They were super heavy, hot, and uncomfortable. The insoles that come in these are an absolute joke for a +$100 pair of shoes. I'd left them in just during my initial try-on and when I took them out my foot indentations were in them for an hour. Yes, I tried them on, walked around my carpeted apartment for a minute or so, and immediately took those out to put in my custom orthotics. I tried to take these to work where I'd be able to test them on a concrete floor. I went for a 20 minute walk and could barely making it back up the stairs. Upon arriving at my desk, I took them off and my feet hurt for quite a while afterwards. Cloudwalkers? Must be clouds full of hail because these shoes were terrible 100% of the time. Currently returning. Maybe a got a lemon of a pair because I did not have anything close to the experience that other reviewers here had left for these shoes.
