So how do these shoes work?  According to the website, the coil in the heel of the shoe helps protect your body from the damaging effects of impact, much like shock absorbers in cars.  It slows the rate of impact experienced by the body and the tension stored in the coil helps propel the user forward.  It also features an orthotic foundation that supports the entire mid-foot.
The online store features many styles from boots to sandals.

Verdict:  I know a pharmacist I work with who swears by these shoes.  Of course, I'm always skeptical about everything, especially awkward looking shoes with a big coil.  If you have the extra cash, go ahead and try them and let me know what you think.  It might be worth it if you catch a pair on sale and if you don't mind the look.  Also, be sure to check out a local store where you can actually try them on and walk around in them before purchasing.  If you have extensive foot problems or issues, always consult your podiatrist before wearing novel gadgets.
