See Manhattan On Your Feet with Spira Men's Genesis X, Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!

I recently had the pleasure of wearing Spira men’s Genesis X model running shoes. At first, I was skeptical that they would stand up to my tried and tested Nike’s but I was pleasantly surprised. These shoes look cool with a brilliant shiny grey background (looks like spray paint a la 1980’s) with blue details in a retro style that is all the rage. They also fit like gloves and provide excellent cushion. My feet felt like they were walking on air or a trampoline. The secret to their success is due to being powered by patented Wavespring technology which stores and releases energy with every step; reduces injury, fatigue and impact; provides superior cushioning (no cushioning breakdown of the shoe over time) and is tuned to specific activities (i.e. jumping). The motto of Spira “Put a real spring in your step” is apropos as these shoes have tri-springs (3)—two at the forefoot and one at the heel, providing maximum balance and cushion. These shoes recycle 96% of energy that would normally be lost to the ground and provide shock absorption so are perfect for professional athletes such as distance runners looking for an edge in their competition.

I love these shoes and feel they outsmart and fit better than our Nike’s so I plan to wear them more often than not now. I highly recommend trying out Spira Men’s Genesis X running shoes—you won’t be disappointed. They are worth the effort to track down.
