I have had my Z-CoiL shoes for over three months. I had a fractured foot and wore a "boot" for over a year. Consequently, I was walking "lopsided" that entire time and totally messed up my back. I am a cashier and am on my feet eight hours a day. Since I have had my Z-CoiL shoes, my back is about 95% better. I swear by my Z-CoiL shoes and recommend them to anyone I see. I am sure that people are tired of my gushing about the shoes, but I honestly feel that they have done wonders for my body. Plus, they are VERY comfortable.

I work in retailing 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, and walk on tile-covered cement floors. I bought Z-CoiL Santa Fe dress shoes, and from the first day, my foot, hip and back pain were gone. It's now been 18 months and my Z-CoiL shoes allow me to work pain-free. Much younger co-workers can't keep up with me. The leather on my dress shoe has separated from the sole near the arch; I'm hoping my local dealer can make repairs and get me back on them soon.

I have been working six days a week for over 20 years. I own a tire store and we are on our feet 10 hours a day. I had terrible heel pain and was getting prepared to visit a foot doctor. I also had low back pain, which now I realize was from the shock running through my heels up to my back. I thank God for Z-CoiL, because just after three weeks I was PAIN FREE in my heels, and now after eight months I am PAIN FREE in my lower back. Thank God for Z-CoiL, and I might just open a Z-CoiL store.

I've been wearing Z-CoiL shoes for about four years now. I'm severely overweight. Had to have knee replacement surgery 5-1/2 years ago. I teach ceramics and one of my students had a pair on. She was always complaining of foot and back pain, and she said they were great. So, after much debating and saving the money, I made the venture to the store in Elmhurst. Very nice people, very helpful.

I got my first pair of black shoes and never took them off but to sleep. They were wonderful. I was constantly on Advil, Aleve, and vivdin (sic) now and then. Now, very rarely do I take anything but Advil or Aleve. The shoes work. It took a little time getting my balance, but I now have three pairs and am saving for more.

Everyone at work always laughs at my Tigger shoes, but I laugh back when they say their back or feet hurt, because mine don't. I'm sorry people are just too vain about shoes. Oh, maybe the tennis shoes are okay, but they¡¯re not crazy about the other styles. I really don't care, because I do have more energy and am able to do more things now.

I went to buy another pair of shoes last year and the Elmhurst store had closed. I immediately came home and got on the Internet to find another store or vendor and I found a doctor¡¯s office in Orlando Park that sells the shoes. I wish we could buy them direct from Z-CoiL, or even just the springs. I've replaced them on my shoes. The shoes last a long time, very durable and well made.

I do wish that maybe a different dressier style was available, but heck, like the family says, Aunt Laura, do you have your Tigger shoes on? My answer is, I just do a little bounce and they all laugh. People are just afraid of change. Me too, but I love my Z-CoiL shoes and I tell everyone that asks. I have had people, complete strangers, come up and ask me, what kind of shoes are you wearing, and I tell them. And they ask, do they work, and my first word is, most definitely; only shoes I wear.

I did meet a women at the Elmhurst store. She was there buying her 13th pair. She was a nurse and said she puts them on before she gets out of bed, her feet and legs were so bad. I was buying my second pair and was very happy that I only needed that many.

Well, I've taken enough of your time. Thanks for Z-CoiL shoes. Keep making them. I love them. They¡¯re good for aches and pains, for sure, and very comfortable. Also forgot to say that I've never got a blister from these shoes, so thanks again for making the shoes.

I had bone fusion surgery on June 15, 2006. Since that surgery I've been having a lot of leg pain, to the point where I just stay home. My wife and I took a trip to Baltimore, MD. We stopped in a shopping plaza in Millersville. My wife went shopping and I stayed in the car because walking causes my lower back to hurt. I watched this young woman walk by and noticed her shoes. I walked into the store and I was fitted with a pair of your Z-CoiL shoes and I walked out wearing the shoes. I'm 6'4" and weigh 280 lbs. I will be seeing my orthopedic doctor next month and I will give him your e-mail address. Thank you. My back thanks you!
