The Spira ^® Valencia walking shoe with patented WaveSpring ^® technology provides superb cushioning and energy return built in harmony with a stable sole platform. It is a performance shoe designed for walkers wanting extra control and support. The upper is constructed of breathable air mesh combined with Spira's Saddle Support Strap ™ technology which cradles and supports the midfoot. The shoes deliver exceptional comfort for serious and casual walkers, people who are on their feet throughout the day, or for those who must stand for long periods of time. The non-marking, three color rubber outsole with forefoot flex grooves provides any easy transition through the gait cycle. The Valencia is built on a new Spira ^® shoe last which provides ample room in the forefoot. The molded EVA foot-bed/insole can be removed to accommodate orthotics.
