Handcrafted, combining soft hand selected leathers with specially formulated shock absorbing materials enclosing the patented Gravity Defyer reciprocating shock absorber system, each Diederick casual shoe was patterned to fit like a glove so they will provide unprecedented comfort from the first time you try them on.
They are designed around a lace up closure and feature distinctive stitching similar to contemporary casual wear.
THE MXT-C3 SOLE is the original Gravity Defyer. The MXT-C3 reciprocating shock absorber system uses a patented inner chamber to form a rocking platform that first absorbs the energy of the step and then propels the wearer forward with ease and comfort. Have a more active lifestyle - Appear nearly 2" taller - Ease joint pain and pressure on your spine - jump higher and walk faster - Look like a million dollars.

These look very nice. Not too casual, not too formal. Very comfortable after breaking them in.

Gravity Defyer - 1st time buyer impression

I purchased this shoe because I was intrigued by the springs in the sole. I do a lot of walking at conferences and business travel, and my feet always get achy and blistery.The quality of the shoe is excellent, with buttery leather and solid soles. On first trial, it fit well, but walking in them does take quite a bit of getting used to; more than I expected. The angling of the foot is skewed high to the heel, which adds about an inch of height. This feels funny to me as a guy (I imagine like high heels must be for women).Wearing the shoes for the first week or so, I ended up with pretty bad irritation on the back of my ankle, where this shoe rubs much higher than anything I have ever had on before.After 2 weeks, that spot is calloused, and it is no longer a problem. I would encourage a new user to stick with them for 2 weeks, allowing a weekend of not wearing them in between.

I really like the look of the shoe. It takes a while to break in, but great after that initial break in time. The shoe definitely runs small and narrow, so you might want to order a size bigger. Overall, I love the shoe and it had made a huge difference on my knees and back! I would recommend this shoe to everyone.
