Whom You Know's Peachy Deegan Loves the Spira Volare SRL 502!
The most wonderful thing about Tiggers song refers to the fact that Tigger's head is made out of rubber, his tail is made out of springs. Was Tigger wearing Spira? The Future Is Now. WaveSpring™ Technology is here and it is coming to a shoe near you! Peachy Deegan counts Spira among her most favorite brands of sneakers and the spring is a huge reason. These shoes quite literally DO put a spring in your step, in some cases- three springs in each foot, and here's how:
WaveSpring™ returns energy with every step.
Unlike traditional shoe midsoles made primarily of foams, rubber compounds, or polymers, WaveSpring™ technology stores and disburses energy with every step. Testing performed at Michigan State University in 2001 reported that 87% - 96% of the energy is returned from the WaveSpring™. As a result, the footwear not only cushions, but returns energy. In a very real sense, the WaveSpring enables you to recycle your own energy!
WaveSpring reduces peak impact forces and prevents injury
One of the remarkable benefits of the WaveSpring is its ability to reduce peak impact forces by about 20% over traditional midsole materials. When engaged in high impact activity like running or jumping, where peak impact is four to five times body weight, a reduction of 20% is quite significant. It is as if a 200 lb person suddenly weighs 160 lbs for purposes of determining stress on the body. The stress reduction can in turn reduce injury and allow for faster recovery time following vigorous activity. For example elite marathon runner David Cheruiyot, won three major marathons, Istanbul, Singapore and Houston in a four month period. He credits his Spira shoes for his performance.
The Volare, shown above, incorporates WaveSpring™ technology in both the heel and forefoot for incomparable cushioning and energy return for the neutral runner who wants to reduce impact stress. Peachy Deegan has been wearing these and finds that the comfort level is unsurpassed and we love the triple springs in each foot. The deflection nature of the WaveSpring™ maintains "like new" performance throughout the life of the shoe, while reducing impact shock resulting in less stress and fatigue. The high abrasion carbon rubber outsole and single density midsole flex plate, combined with the EVA cushion pads on the forefoot exterior and the anatomical WaveSpring™ design, work together to provide increased flexibility and cushioning. The breathable upper materials and the forefoot "flex fingers" over the metatarsals provide exceptional fit and comfort. Not only are these sneakers fabulously functional, they are quite hip as well which we cannot say about all sneakers. The cutting-edge design is perfect for the streets of Manhattan. Accentuated with a marine blue, the Volare SRL 502's give you a bit of an amphibious look and the tiny honeycombs resemble snake skin a bit....these are running shoes but work well as cross-trainers. Whom You Know highly recommends the Spira Volare SRL 502!
