I am 63 years old and the Z-CoiL¢ç shoes I have been wearing for 13 months have given me a chance to enjoy parts of life that had not been possible for several years.

Thirty-five years ago a ladder I was standing on while painting our home gave way on soft ground and the ladder and I fell to the ground with my ankle getting caught on the steps. My ankle broke in two places along with a break on my back leg bone. The ankle break was so severe that pins were used to hold it together. After about 30 years the cartilage was gone and the pain so severe I was using a cane and even crawling to get around in my home. Ultimately the doctor decided to fuse the ankle and another pin was inserted. This removed the pain, but with a fused ankle one is not able to walk up and down stairs like before. One has to take one step at a time like a child just beginning to learn to walk stairs.

The fall also injured my back and has left me with a thinning disk between two vertebrae. For the past few years I would experience pain in my lower back after standing or walking for 15 minutes. My husband and I own and operate a summer food concession business and need to be on our feet for hours, and it became very difficult. . . . When grocery shopping needed to be done, my husband had to do it for me. We seriously considered buying an electric cart for me to get around with.

Then in March of 2004 I saw a woman wearing these strange-looking shoes with a coil heel. I asked her about them and she told me how they had changed her life. I was ready to try anything. So we found a store and I bought a pair of sandals and a pair of walking shoes. I immediately put on a pair. We were in Corpus Christi at the time and the aircraft carrier The SS Lexington was docked there and open for tours. The ship is a few stories high with narrow, steep steps. I couldn¡¯t believe it, and neither could my husband, but I toured the whole ship. He asked if I didn¡¯t want to sit down, knowing normally I would, but I was having no problem with my lower back or my ankle.

I continued to wear the Z-CoiL¢ç shoes all summer while working, and was so pleased with the results. I began to do the grocery shopping and was thoroughly enjoying it. Christmas shopping in the past meant shopping about 30 minutes at the most. At Christmas 2004, I actually shopped for six hours at a time, walking on those hard mall floors. I had such a good time.

My son had moved to NYC and in September 2004 we went to visit him. He warned me of all the walking that would be necessary. It was much more than I imagined, but for three days I walked the streets of NYC and up and down the steps to the subway train and had no pain.

This winter we took a bus tour into Mexico and there were many times we walked on guided tours. I told my husband, ¡°I couldn¡¯t have done this without my Z-CoiL¢ç shoes.¡± My chiropractic doctor examined my shoes and said it was the best shock absorber I could wear for my lower back situation. Because of my positive experience, several other acquaintances have purchased Z-CoiL¢ç shoes and have also had positive experiences.

I am an Executive Housekeeper for a busy hotel. I am on my feet all day, six days a week, walking up and down stairs and on the concrete sidewalks. I was told by the doctors that I would have to have two knee replacements.

Since I have been wearing my Z-CoiL¢ç shoes, I am no longer in pain. My knees don't hurt or swell any more. I can walk all day and have no pain at all at the end of a very busy day. I have told everybody that I meet about them.

I am a convention food server in Atlantic City and am on my feet an average of 14 hours a day. Since wearing Z-CoiL¢ç footwear, my feet and legs feel 20 years younger.

Carla
Absecon,  NJ   USA

I work for a major motor home dealership and spend innumerable hours on my feet showing and demonstrating hi-line motor homes. With a bad back and foot, due to sports injuries, the pain I have endured can be described as distracting to debilitating at times.

I had the opportunity to meet a wonderful couple from Tampa, ultimately selling them their new motor home. I also purchased my first pair of Z-CoiL¢ç shoes from them as they are distributors of this fine product!

Since wearing Z-CoiL¢ç shoes, I have had diminished, if not completely eliminated, foot and back pain. I cannot thank this couple enough for becoming my "customers for life" and vice versa. Thank you again for the quality product!

I sell government cars at auctions. I am on cement or black-top all the time. My feet, back, hips, and knees used to hurt all the time.

Once I got Z-CoiL¢ç shoes, all pain ended. Yes, my feet do still get tired, but no more pain. My husband also wears them for relief from sciatica. Are they expensive? YES, but they are an investment. I just purchased a second pair. I am so very thrilled they have come out in a ¡°dressy¡± style for women. I needed a black pair for a trade show.

I only wear Z-CoiL¢ç shoes now. I tell everyone I see with a job standing or walking to get a pair. I will never wear anything else again.
