See Manhattan On Your Feet Highly Recommends the Odyssey for Men by Spira!
I love going for a run on a brisk autumn day. That means its really important that I find the best shoes to go running in. I've tried many different brands in the past, but until now, I haven't been able to find a shoe that puts that extra spring in my step. Spira's Men's Odyssey sneakers does just that - literally! These shoes are powered by Spira's patented Wavespring technology. There are actually springs built into the shoe! Two springs are located near the ball of the foot, and one at the heel. These springs return up to 96% of energy that would have been lost in the ground. That gives you the power to get through you run, or just get through a long day of being on your feet. I found them to be really comfortable too. The springs work with the cushioning in the shoe to provide perfect support for your foot. Since I began wearing the sneakers, I've been able to run farther and longer. I've even noticed my feet don't hurt after a long day of walking around the city. My feet have been thanking me ever since I started wearing them! For the absolute best in comfort and support, Spira takes the cake!
