User Reviews
Super comfortable right out of the box. No breaking-in period. The three springs in the soles makes such a difference over every other athletic shoe out there. And the ample toe box adds to the overall great fit. Spira is a winner!
I am a manager at a retail store and on my feet 8-9 hours a day, these cloud walkers are amazing!!! Thank you.
I love these shoes! I used to have some but havent for 15 yrs or so. I like these a LOT more than the New Balance that i've been wearing! They fit good. I have wide feet so its hard finding shoes that fit good. Love the way they look!
Small all the way around. Did not fit. I tried to give it a chance, but to no avail. I don't think it was a wide at all. But, am not a shoe expert. All I know it didn't fit and by the end of the day my feet were screaming to be let free. I like the other Spira shoes, but this one was a bust. So very sad!
All the good reviews are true! These are my new favorite walking shoes. I fight with achilles tendonitis off and on, so I must have supportive footwear. The heal toe drop is sufficient. I like the sturdy footbed. The insole is cloud-like, so if you like the support as your feet sink into the shoe, like Skechers, you'll like this shoe. I put my custom orthotics in to get the need arch support, plus there is still a nice amount of spring as I walk. White shoes. Well they really clean quite easily with a damp cloth! I bought 7 W. For comparison, I wear the same size in Nikes, 7.5 W in Brooks. Love these shoes!
I liked the fit and comfort
I workout everyday I’m on my elliptical and these are the only shoes I can wear that give me the support I need.
The shoe came out in January 2004 and was invented by a person in El Paso. Where I happen to live. It is a lifesaver for people with plantar fasciitis!! I have been wearing this brand for sixteen years!
