Congratulations on opening your Z-CoiL store! I admit I was skeptical about the crazy looking shoes, but you can now count me as a HUGE fan of Z-CoiL!

I have knee problems, severe plantar fasciitis and arthritis in my knees and feet. All of these issues often make wearing any shoes for extended periods of time extremely uncomfortable. Consequently, I am in a lot of pain and lose sleep because of my aching feet and knees. I had even started to limit activity that involved a lot of walking, which isn¡¯t fun when you have young children and love to go to amusement parks, hike, play sports, attend concerts, etc. Those activities won¡¯t be a problem this summer!

I have spent hundreds of dollars on shoes, orthotics, doctors¡¯ visits and nothing seemed to be helping in the long run. I had nothing to lose in trying Z-CoiL.

The time you spent working with me in getting the fit just right, which isn¡¯t easy with my wide, painful feet, was impressive, to say the least. Still skeptical and with literally a spring in my step, I left the store. I wore the shoes from 11am until about 10pm that evening – something I could not have done in my $300 shoes I wore until Z-CoiL!

I recently went on a field trip to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. with my son¡¯s first grade class. We walked the entire zoo several times, something I could not have done in any other pair of shoes I own.

I wear my shoes daily, and they are a constant source of conversation. There are a lot of folks out there with sore feet!

I am truly amazed at the lack of pain in my feet and in my knees and I am blissfully unaware of them now as I go about my daily activities. I plan on treating myself to a pair of Z-CoiL sandals soon!

THANK YOU! Best wishes for much success and CHEERS for happy feet!

I bought my first pair of Z-CoiL shoes after my chiropractor suggested I try something to help with the pain in my hips from severe arthritis. I was amazed that as soon as I put them on, my hips stopped hurting. I used to dread walking around (which I have always loved doing), but now I walk very comfortably and easily. The other day I spent five hours on my feet and I felt great! Thank you developing these shoes.

I have also had people come up and try them on and love them right away. I love recommending them to friends and others. I have many friends in the medical field and in retail that swear by their shoes. I only wish there were more colors and styles. Keep up the good work!

My friend had had knee surgery. She used to rub her legs constantly and was a slow walker. I asked her once what was different about her, she looked like she was doing so well. She said, "Lei, it is these Z-CoiL shoes. They are just wonderful." When I tried them on, my husband said he could see a real difference in my walking. Also, when I got up out of the chair, he knew right away there was a difference. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, sciatic nerve damage, and slipped discs in L4 and 5.

I now have three pairs of Z-CoiL shoes. In the past, I could not walk on my treadmill for even 10 minutes without wanting to cry from the pain and exhaustion. I can now walk up to one-and-a-half miles without as much pain. I can walk across a campground without excruciating pain. My doctor has seen the difference in me. Eighteen months ago I was walking around with a cane. Now I do not need it. I can walk longer distances than I have in several years.

I know with fibromyalgia, nothing lasts forever, but I will take this for as long as I can. I tell everyone who looks at my shoes strangely how they have helped me. They are not out to make a fashion statement. They are out to help make life a little easier for us. I thank God for giving man the knowledge to invent these shoes to help relieve some of the pain for many of us. Thank you God, and thank you Z-CoiL.
