Titanium Spring Loaded Insoles help you combat Earth's oppressive gravity
Remember Moon Shoes, those crazy floating-inner-bucket booties that were all the rage in the '90s? These Titanium Spring Loaded Insoles are kind of like the adult version, promising to make you feel as if every step is considerably lighter. Each insole has five, 1/4 inch titanium springs that are said to not only cushion your footfall, but recoup some of that energy and transfer it into your stepping off, a bit like how regenerative braking allows electric cars to restore their energy.
The insole also features a honeycomb-padded surface that improves circulation, and an extra seven springs under the ball of the foot for a smoother step.
Titanium Spring Loaded Insoles are supposedly small enough that they are great for your everyday pair of shoes, athletic sneakers and working boots. And they're only $30.

These are way too cool! Where can I get some?

And yet the pic on the website where you go to purchase these still does not show the tops of the shoes. Are you kidding? I'm never going to see the bottom of these things...I'll spend my day looking at the tops. Spring loaded or not, it won't cover an ugly pair of shoes!

Hey Mutineer, did you even read the article? The title says "insoles" sheesh. See also the last paragraph:
"Titanium Spring Loaded Insoles are supposedly small enough that they are great for your everyday pair of shoes, athletic sneakers and working boots."

I had surgery, from an injury at work. I've been in pain and always looking for something the can help me. I had 2 screws put in my foot and bones fused, with pins put in my toes because they were turning to compensate for the pain.I'm willing to try anything, besides more screws.

You are seeing the tops of these things; image on left.
They are only insoles, as in they go into your own pair of shoes!
Still might be comfortable.

Titanium doesn't set off metal detectors. I go through them all the time with my titanium wedding band.
