The Spring Loaded Leather Loafers

Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, these are the full-grain leather slip-ons with shock-absorbing springs in the soles. Each shoe has one spring in the heel and two in the forefoot that relieves the stress and fatigue of running, walking, or standing. Tests performed at Michigan State University proved that the patented springs returned up to 96% of the energy from each step that would otherwise be lost to the ground. The downward force deflected and dispersed during each impact is recycled to the wearer as propulsive energy, further reducing the strain on the feet, even for casual walkers or those who stand on their feet most of the workday. Unlike the compressed foams and gels used for cushioning on other athletic shoes, these springs will never break down or degrade. The shoes have a full-grain leather upper, a removable memory foam foot-bed, and a an abrasion-resistant carbon rubber outsole that ensures confident footing. Brown. Men’s whole sizes 9-13. (3 lbs.)
