이 달의 체험담
아래는 지코일 신발을 신은 고객이 직접 올린 체험담입니다.
I used to be on my feet all the time and I used to wear flat shoes with no arch support. I have worked in a lot of jobs that require a lot of walking: security guard, car sales, and warehouse jobs with concrete floors. In time my feet became very painful to walk on. I thought it was because I’m a big guy and overweight that my feet hurt all the time. I’ve been to several doctors over the years who told me I had heel spurs in both feet. I have received at least three cortisone shots in my right foot to help me with the pain. The shot is just a temporary fix and is almost more painful than the heel spur itself. It made me scream like a little girl the last time it was done. I sometimes had to use a cane because the pain was so intense that I had a difficult time walking.
My doctor told me I have absolutely no arch in either foot, and the top of my foot was crushing in on itself. He made me some arch supports cast from impressions of my feet. That out-of-pocket expense was around $500.00. He told me my feet were so bad, I needed to buy better quality shoes like Reebok and Nike, and to replace them every three to four months because my feet would obliterate the shoe’s arch by that time, and I needed to keep a good arch support for my feet
Every morning after waking up I would have to massage my heels and use a cane to get to the bathroom five to ten feet away. This was the norm until I walked into Springboard, a Z-CoiL® store in Vancouver, for the first time. I was referred by a friend I work with who told me great things about these shoes. He gave me a card and I looked them up on the Web. Of course I was a skeptic, believing it to be too good to be true, but after reading the testimonies for myself, I had to check it out.
I walked into the store with my wife and met Richard Kimbell, who had me in a pair of shoes in no time flat. After seeing his compassion for people like myself, with problems like mine, I realized this was not a joke or a scam in any way. After a few minutes of walking around in the new shoes, I noticed a difference. My feet did feel better, and I did not want to take the shoes off, but Richard needed to adjust them to fit me better. While I was waiting, a few people came in that were already on his testimonial wall. I asked them about the pros and cons of the shoes. I never heard one negative comment; all were positive. After Richard fit my shoes to me, he stated if I ever had a problem or question with the shoes to come back right away. I’ve just got to say this is the best customer service I have ever experienced.
After about four months of walking in these shoes, I no longer have pain whatsoever in my feet. I can take walks with my wife again and not feel I need to sit down every 20 feet or so. I have not used the insoles my doctor sold me or my cane since buying these wonderful shoes. Everyone that asks me now about these Z-CoiL® shoes gets my story about how great they have worked for me. I even approach people that look like they have problems walking and tell them about the shoes.
I just bought my second pair and am about to buy my third. Since the shoes last so long, I just buy different styles. I will never buy a different brand of shoes again. No one can beat the comfort of these shoes, and I have never experienced the kind of excellent customer service as with Richard and his staff. Thank you greatly.

I work for DYNAMET, Inc. in Clearwater Florida, a factory where we produce titanium, and I am on my feet 10 to 12 hours a day. By the time I’d get home, I was in so much pain, I could barely get out of my car to walk into my house. So I gave the Steel-Toe Z-Duty 7" Work Boots a try, and I am so glad I did! NOW after I get home, I am ready to go back out on the town! I cannot tell you just how much these boots have saved my feet! I will be getting more Z-CoiL Shoes! I and my feet thank you, Z-CoiL!

I had major spine surgery three years ago and have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and feet. I am a physician so I'm on my feet all day long. The only shoes I wear any more are my Z-CoiL® shoes. I have five pairs that I rotate. I don't think I'd be able to continue to work if I hadn't found these shoes.

I am 32 years old. I live in Lincoln, Nebraska, and work in a factory. On September 27, 2000, I worked at a roofing supply company in Boise, Idaho. On that day, I was 24 feet off the ground on a hydraulic lift-bed truck unloading roofing tile onto a roof. I fell off the edge of the truck, fell 24 feet, and landed on my feet onto a hard-packed frozen dirt driveway. As a result of the fall, I shattered my ankle (broke the fibula in half, split the tibia up the center, and crushed the medial maliosis, destroying ligaments, cartilage, and tendons.) The E.R. doctor planned to amputate my right foot, but instead had a specialist in the field put 12 screws and a rod in my ankle.
For five years, I have struggled so much with pain that I have a standing order from my doctor for Celebrex® and Vicoden®. For years I have been taking 400 mg of Celebrex® per day, which is twice the recommended daily dose. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on orthotics, Nike shoes with little springs in the back, and to my dismay I still hurt!!
I work on a hard, concrete floor eight or nine hours per day and at times having to grit my teeth as I walk because my ankles hurt so much! There have been a few days I have walked out of the plant at the end of the week with tears in my eyes because it hurt so much to take another step. I became depressed and so pain-ridden that I couldn't even play with my kids or go to the mall on my days off.
BUT NOT ANYMORE! Thanks to my new Z-CoiL® shoes that my wife bought me in Omaha, Nebraska, for Father's Day. Z-CoiL has given me pain-free days, energy, and ability. I no longer have to spend the whole weekend with my ankles propped up with ice on them. Best of all, I can play with my kids again! Z-CoiL has truly given me my life back! Thanks Z-CoiL and thanks to those nice folks in the Omaha, Nebraska store!

I've been a machinist for 30 years, standing on cement 8 to 10 hours a day. I was eating anti-inflammatories by the handful and taking Vicodin® at night. I went into pain management, which meant taking more narcotics.
One day I was at a street fair in Manteca, California and saw these shoes. Being an experienced designer, I knew a good design when I saw it. After three years of wearing these shoes in a harsh machine shop environment, I've had a 90 percent drop in medication usage.
Z-CoiL® footwear gets the “Bad Bob Seal of Approval.”
