The Inspire is not just ShoeKicker's CEO's favorite shoe (and the shoe that helped launch ShoeKicker) but it's also one of the bestselling stability shoes in the country. Like its sibling shoe the Wave Rider, the Wave Inspire's extended wave plate absorbs the shock from a heel strike, distributing it evenly throughout the shoe. This not only helps reduce the jolt to the body, but it helps preserve the life of the shoe.
