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.

I am the target customer for this product-heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, you name it. You would think I would be ecstatic about these; rocker type step, stiffer heel counter, holds your feet in place, you’ve read the product bio. But something is just off with this product. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll keep them as an extra pair, but you really need a fairly regular grade of pavement or turf to enjoy these. If I lived in Florida or other low-country, no incline type place, these would be ideal. They are cumbersome on inclines, (I live in slight hill country) not at all worthy of damp paths that you might slip. They are a very stiff shoe without much “give,” if you will. I think I’m a hopeless romantic for the original Skechers Walk-Fit, which had the rocker action, plus great cushioning and comfort. Until they bring them back, I’ll be amassing an array of sub par footwear like this. Best to wait for close out or deep discounts. An update-the company reached out to me offering a full refund on their product. To me, a company who listens to and responds to customers about their concerns is okay by me, so I upgraded them to 4 stars. Again, I think they have a good idea going and are filling a market void on this type of footwear. I believe it to be a good product, a little stiff on the upper and perhaps needing a bit more bounce to the sole. I did purchase their non-leather slides and have enjoyed them! Great company.

Exelente calidad

The shoes arent good for me. Had on 30 second and felt like I was on high heels. Knees instantly hurt and all weight was on front of feet. Not the right shoe for me. May be good for others. Will be returning.

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.
