Men's Classic Leather Walking Shoe,Black/Black,9 M US

I've worn the other "spring coil shoe's for over 7 years, and that's all I wore.Little did I know until to late that they were the cause of my feet going completely flat,to include the ball of the foot. ( You end up with "spook toes and quite painful). With these it has taken weeks to adjust my walking gait,etc.With that some soreness, back, shins. Break in time about2 weeks. Have had them now over a month. And will more then likely buy another pair.One quality control point, the left heel pocket just below the top roll of foam has worn a hole to the the plastic heel cup. Now I'am not going to go thru the hassle to get a new pair. Over all they work for me. I have bad knees and a bad back. Follow that up with 8 hours a day on my feet @ lowes not standing still for more then 2 minuites. Yeah they work fine. Update: I've worn these shoe's every day for 5 months and now for the hind site. No I would not buy these again, the heel springs have failed. The soles are fine but again the heel cup fabric started wareing theu before 30 days and in short order the entire heel cups plastic was exposed. Not what I expected form a shoe that cost this much. Again I wouldn't buy these shoe's.

My husband has bad feet from years of fighting in Vietnam. These shoes are a life safer for his feet and a benefit to his back. Love these shoes, they last a long time, we buy two pair a year and he wears them everyday.

Facts: At least 6 pairs of these shoes purchased. Used for bartendering, catering, and parking lot security patrol work in the summer heat.Simply...this is the best shoe out there for standing in place, standing/working on concrete floors, or anything high impact. The walker is acceptable in many workplaces. The springs make you feel 10 years younger.Now, I gave them 5 stars and I will always buy this shoe...(gotta get my axe), but the quality of the shoe gets a big 2 out of 5. The soles wear through way too fast, the inner lining always rips, and the shoe shape deforms too fast. I am willing to buy a new pair every 6 months, but are you? If you wear these shoes for truly walking on sidewalks and/or pavement they will not last! I wore through a pair in less than 3 months doing security work. Walking parking lots in the summer heat. The company says that the shoe's slip resistant soles are softer and therefore not able to handle that condition. It's called a WALKER! Where do most of you walk? Sidewalks and trails? No, you walk on roads. Do you walk in fair weather more? Of course you do and that means sun and hot pavement. It's a work shoe and not a walker, but they will not tell you that point. The faster they wear through the sooner you will buy a new pair. If they wear through that fast call them and complain. You will get a new pair discounted. When my Nike Air Max sneakers blew through in 2 months and then the replacement pair blew through in 3 months both replacement pairs were FREE! (see customer service below)The lining tears before anything else goes wrong consistently. I have Nike and ASIC sneakers and those linings never tear. Poor workmanship again.The shape of the shoe deforms fast. By 6 months they look like sneakers. The boarding is just too soft and the upper is not made to hold it's shape. Poor workmanship again.The slip resistant soles get 3 stars out of 5. The slip resistant soles slip. They are not slippery, but nothing out of the ordinary as far as the average sneaker or shoe. I'd prefer longer sole life and skip the slip resistance.The price gets 2 stars out of 5 and that's up from 1. I got this pair for $68 and tax because of some mysterious, automatic coupon. These shoes cost usually $150.00, but I managed to find them for less online over the past two years. Previously, even online, they were $150.00. They are sneakers, nothing more. When they design a real dress shoe then $150.00 will be a reasonable price tag.Customer service gets a low rating as well. 2 stars out of 5. Where were the free replacements? All I got were excuses.In conclusion, the spring technology is why I buy this shoe and ONLY the spring technology. When another company uses the same tech with any promise of better quality I am switching. For now, hands down, this shoe saves your back, legs, and feet far better than any other shoe on the market. Add some custom orthotics to prevent pressure points (like Foot Solutions make) and you can work 17 hours straight at 42 years old. Your mind, that's another issue. All you bartenders, waiters, bus, dishwashers, cooks, chefs, assembly line, machine shop, retail sales, movie theater, food service, wall street trading floor, Wal-Mart, Target, supermarket, daycare, and teaching people it's your shoe. Walkers with money to burn go for it. It's still the best. Other walkers, maybe that new Spira Walker D something sole's will hold up better.

I've had 3 pairs of these shoes now. And while I really like the comfort and the extra cushion from the internal spring, these shoes are just not very durable. I usually have shoes last me 3-4 years, but I barely get a year out of these. The only reason I keep buying them is because of how comfortable they are. You'll find other reviews of the springs breaking and making loud clicking noises as you walk, and I've had that happen in 2 of the shoes I've had. The clicking is very loud and is because the coil spring broke. The clicking eventually goes away, but it's because the broken pieces have worn down and aren't catching each other anymore (and you've lost some of that extra cushioning because the springs are broken). The black leather wears off very easily, almost to the point it flakes off, so the front and sides of my shoes are "raw" instead of shiny black anymore. Furthermore, the back inside of the shoe is cheap black fabric that wears through within a couple months, and you're heal will be running against hard white plastic (e.g. NOT comfortable). The internal spring provides comfort and cushion while still providing stability, something I've never been able to duplicate with any sort of foam, gel, and even "liquid" shoe inserts. I wish I could find another shoe that was as comfortable as these, or that these shoes would start being produced with higher quality.
