I have had my Z-CoiL¢ç footwear for five days and I hate to take them off at the end of the day. I was a cosmetologist for 10 years and now am in the medical field. I have had back problems for years and have some pinched nerves in my neck. Since I have been wearing my Z-CoiL¢ç footwear, I have not had any problems.

I work for a spine doctor and I can¡¯t wait to tell him how much I really believe in these shoes. I have really noticed that when I¡¯m standing in one spot, I don¡¯t fidget to get comfortable. My legs and feet don¡¯t hurt or burn—that¡¯s what I love the most.

As recently as 11 months ago, I was having severe problems with arthritis in both knees—-so much so that I could barely get through a day at work. I work in retail, which requires being on my feet all day. I was also about forty pounds overweight, which my doctor advised was adding more to my problems. With all that pain, it was hard to exercise and thus all the more difficult to lose weight.

I read an article in our local paper about Z-CoiL¢ç footwear and around the end of May 2004, I went to Spring Action Footwear in Overland Park to try a pair. I made the purchase and after wearing the shoes for a couple of weeks, I found the pain and stiffness had lessened enough that I could start walking on a regular basis again—-at first just a little, and then more frequently and on longer walks. Since the end of August, I have lost 59 pounds. I had to make some big changes in my eating habits. Weight Watchers¢ç was a big help with that. They helped me see that the increase in exercise has been the piece that was missing in any prior efforts to lose weight. I could not have done that without my Z-CoiL¢ç shoes.

Now I even lightly jog for a part of my walking time five to six days per week. I¡¯m healthier now than I was in my 20¡¯s and the arthritis is a non-issue. I tell everyone that Z-CoiL¢ç shoes were the best thing I ever did for myself.

Over the past eight years I have had terrible foot, knee and hip problems. This involved taking a lot of pain medicine, getting cortisone shots, seeing physicians, and doing therapy. I finally turned to alternative medicine. The sciatica recurred several times, but was controlled by diet and stretching. Last summer I fell and injured my hamstring. I went through months of therapy, and the therapist damaged both of my knees. The orthopedic surgeon said I needed knee surgery on both knees and gave me more pills.

Over the past eight years, I have worked as a marketing director in the health care field. There have been times when I went to call on a hospital and could hardly get out of the hospital and back to my car. I have taken about every anti-inflammatory there is and some that have been removed from the market. I see a massage therapist on a monthly basis and am usually in pain.

One year ago, my daughter told me about some crazy-looking shoes that a friend of hers sold in Overland Park, Kansas. I finally broke down and checked them out. Crazy was not the word for them. I did some research about the shoes and finally bought a pair of the sandals. My knees were so swollen and my gate was terrible, so I only lasted about two days in the shoes. After several months my husband suggested that I try to wear the ¡°crazy expensive shoes¡± that I had purchased. I gave myself two weeks to wear them every day. I purchased a pair of clogs for winter, and just last month purchased a pair of tennis shoes, so I can start walking on the treadmill until spring arrives and I can walk outside.

I can now last at least eight hours a day, marketing. I can enjoy the weekends with my husband shopping, site-seeing, or whatever. I am planning on riding my bike on the bike trails in the spring and I am looking at playing golf again. I am down to one Aleve¢ç a day and am hoping to eventually get off of that. I occasionally get brave and try to wear my regular shoes for a short period of time, and then I have to pay the price of pain.

At first everyone laughed and made fun of how high I bounce—-all the ¡°spring¡± jokes. But now, being able to join in marketing events, walk, be out of most of my pain, and do trade shows for 10 hours and be able to walk out at the end of the day, is wonderful.

I market for your company every day—-to the health care employees. A physicians¡¯ office of 25 employees let me do a luncheon for them because they wanted to find out more about my shoes. People stop me on the street, at trade shows, hospitals, and so forth just to see what my shoes are all about and where they can get them. The younger generation thinks that I am cool, and yesterday at a of meeting of 60 health care professionals, an older couple wanted to know where I got them—-she was 80 years old and was down in her hips and had not been able to walk for a year. I am your walking testimonial that they work. My sciatica has not given me trouble in six or seven months.

I do wish they came in dress shoes!!!

I have been wearing my Sidewinder sandals for a few months now and I love them. I am a hairdresser in the last trimester of my pregnancy and a mother of three. I am on my feet the majority of the day.

I have back problems and used to take pain relievers every day to ease the pain. But since I've been wearing these shoes, I have stopped doing so and have found that I am not as tired as I used to be at the end of the day. The pain I used to get down my legs has stopped and I also do not have heel pain anymore.
