The latest hype in footwear for seniors are shoes with a coil or spring in the heel that claim to soften your walk and help propel you forward. They sell under various brands such as Spiro, Ortho, and Z-Coil, just to name a few. AVOID THESE SHOES LIKE THE PLAGUE. Shoes with heel springs contribute to balance problems and also cause your foot to pronate. Don’t let anyone give you a fake upsell to this spring-in-the-heel junk.
