Gravity Defyer g-defy Mighty Walk Walking Shoes for Men | Comfortable Orthopedic Shoes for Standing All Day | Patented VersoShock Technology | Wide Toe Box

CORRECTION TO TYPO IN PREVIOUS REVIEW SHOULD READ AS FOLLOWS: "I really do not know what to say, I'm an old man of 83 & my flat feet have been a source of pain & problems my entire life...not to be overly-dramatic, but the quality & amazing fit & comfort of this new Mighty Walk Show literally brought me to tears of joy. "Thank You", Gary A, Henderson, Nevada"

I had to order a 1/2 size larger in a wide for more toe room. These shoes took the majority of the pain away while wearing for a resonable period. They come with corrctive inserts in a package and comfort inserts in the shoes. These shoes offered pain relief right out of the box. I wear the corrective inserts daily. Just follow the directions.

Very nice shoe but the toe box wasn’t wide enough for me. I wear a 9(4E) wide

In my opinion these sneakers have been one of the best investments I've made for my feet. I'm in my mid-60's, overweight (working on it), with diabetes. I had started feeling temporary pain in the Achilles tendon of my left foot. The discomfort would occur after being stationary but would quickly go away when I walked for several minutes. I saw an ad for Gravity Defyer sneakers. Advertised as being a walking sneaker with orthopedic corrective inserts sneaker I made the purchase. I had been invited to go to Disney World with family, had been advised that the walking might be brutal for me, and I wanted to have another set of sneakers I could use. Walking in them for the first time was unique. The sole felt stiff, but this quickly faded. In early August we were in Disney World for a week. Not one drop of rain. Temperatures were in the high-90's/low 100's. The "real feel" was between 117 - 124 degrees. I registered between 23k to 25k steps, over twice my usual daily step count. While they were right about the walking, they didn't mention the discomfort of standing in long lines in that heat. I was pleasantly surprised that I had no complaints about my feet or legs. I wore the Gravity Defyers every single day. The heat from the pavement was intense and the common joke was that the soles of our sneakers were melting. People with gel inserts claimed to feel their feet sliding around in their sneakers. As for me, the soles of my sneakers were solid. I enjoyed walking in these sneakers. Even standing in slow moving lines was not an issue for me. I read in the reviews that the sizing was small compared to other shoes. I found this to be true. I normally take a 12 - 12.5-inch size. I ordered a 13-inch size and it fit like a glove. If I re-order these sneakers, I'd be tempted to go with a 13-wide if I was to wear heavy socks in cold weather. The sneakers look far better than the pictures displayed on Amazon. I purchased the grey color because all the really cool colors were no longer available - which I took as an indication of the sneaker's popularity. It turns out the grey color is a pretty sharp looking sneaker. I am thrilled with these sneakers. I would definitely purchase them again and I have recommended them to my friends. My feet and legs feel awesome.

If you walk a lot of miles these shoes will last. I walked 7-8 miles a day and have bought 3 pair. They’re light weight and comfortable

Comes with two inserts. One for slippage and fit if needed and one for extra support. I used neither. Sneakers fit perfect and support is nice. I purchased these after much research because I have one bad knee though it is healing well, in part due to these shoes. I walk 3-5 miles a day. From the moment I put these on they were comfortable. I walked 5 miles on both rough terrain, as the town is tearing up side walks and roads for sewer and water line repairs, as well as on our fantastic school rubber track. These are great. No blisters due to rubbing in the usual places like the big toe or heel. The spring wedge indeed works as advertised, absorbing shock and actually feels like a spring in the heel. These appear to be made well, time will tell. I have already put between 70 and a hundred miles on them. If you need a good orthopedic walking shoe/sneaker, try these. They are NOT a running shoe.

Not that these shoes do not defy gravity but also feel a little more stiff and weird. There is a piece of the heel that protrudes out and makes it weird to walk on. As oppose to what they cautioned against, I did not have any pain or discomfort, it's just that the shoes were not any more bouncy or comfortable than other shoes. I had my two teenage sons try them and see if they want them. They also rejected them because the soles felt weird and stiff to walk on. May be if you have a calcaneal bursitis the heel can get some pain relief but most people don't have heel bursitis. So, I don't understand the hype. It is false advertisement. Also, the returning process is the most burdensome and time consuming I have ever experienced on Amazon. You've got to fill out a form, only use the original box, package it yourself and then go to the US post office, with all the long lines. No thanks!

Exelente calidad

Good buy, for feet sole pain.

Like the product and great to wear. Can really tell it's working on my flat foot (no arch) problem

Great bounce and forward lean. Sturdy, durable and comfortable.

I actually stand for 10 hours a day sometimes on these shoes and I don’t feel the pain that much anymore

Runs smaller and shorter then actual size. This shoe hurts my big toe with hallux limitus, and is useless for this condition, Don't buy it if this for your foot issue. It may be more useful for other foot issues. The heel drop is too high.
