Wink Great Shoes!!!

I tried every shoe on known to man... and I finally found 2 pairs... thought I would share my info... for any of you, who still have pain while walking.
I got SPIRA shoes.. the white walking ones. They have a spring coil inside the shoe... and BOY is it GREAT!!!!!!!!
I also go the M.B.T. shoes. These work great for me, b.c all the pressure is off your heel. It retrains your body in walking. Also strengthens your muscles... these ones do take time to get used to. You will definelty be sore for a while until used to them.. but it has taken the pressure off my lower back and hips!!! My back was sore at first, due to getting the muscles I hardly use, to work again....

Neither pair of shoes come cheap, the SPIRA were 135 while the MBT were 245... but well worth it. THe nice part with the MBT shoes, is they last for about 2-3 years b4 they need to be resoled, and resole america, will do them for 50 bucks!!!!

Good Luck!! Hope this helps!!!
