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 $200 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 have suffered from plantar fasciitis for seven years. There have been times when the only way to get from the bed to the bathroom in the morning was to crawl on my knees.

Last year, I received a cortisone shot in my right heel and felt complete relief, but alas, its effects only lasted a month. I had become more and more sedentary and have really been gaining weight over the last three years because of this issue. I had really started to get depressed because things seemed so hopeless.

I saw a new store open up next to my video store. They were advertising foot pain relief shoes. Then there was an article in the paper about the shoes this store was selling. This piqued my curiosity, so I went in. When I put them on, I was near tears and could hardly talk. The relief was instant.

The foot pain, almost entirely gone, and the hip pain I had developed recently from walking so oddly to accommodate the foot pain was completely gone! I was literally making a whole different set of plans for our summer vacation sitting in the store--one that actually involves walking and doing something, instead of sitting poolside!!

That night, I took my kids to a carnival and walked around for hours. The next morning there was no flare up from the extra walking that normally would occur.

I cannot tell you what it means to be given hope again that something can be done to relieve pain that was so crippling. Thank you so much. I see more Z-CoiL shoes in my future: a dressy pair, a hiking pair, etc., as I regain my life and all its different activities!!!!

I have suffered from plantar fasciitis since 2004, with no relief from this pain until I tried my first pair of Z-CoiL shoes at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. The moment I placed these wonderful comfortable shoes on my feet, I knew what real relief was. All the other shoes I had purchased failed to help, but with my Z-CoiL shoes I can now walk and be pain-free. I need a new pair, as it is now three years later.

I walk almost all day, and with plantar fasciitis the pain upon standing is the worst and gets intense upon standing for long periods. With Z-CoiL shoes on I can walk all day and stand for long periods without pain. Thank you for making these clouds to wear. I shudder to think what I would be doing without them.

I have been a Registered Nurse for 40+ years and as a result I have been on my feet a lot. I developed plantar fasciitis and bone spurs on my heels. I had the spurs removed and was fitted with custom-made insoles, but I continued to have problems with pain in my feet and lower back. In 2006 my husband saw someone wearing a pair of Z-CoiL shoes and her testimony convinced him that I should try a pair. I purchased a pair in May and couldn't be more pleased.

I no longer come home from work exhausted and in severe pain. I am able to work and come home and participate in activities with my family. My grandchildren think I can jump like Tigger now, and I no longer sit on the sidelines during softball games and family hikes. Your shoes have given me back a pain-free life. I am in the process of choosing a second pair of shoes for home.

My doctor is amazed with the changes the shoes have made in my fight with foot and back pain. I totally recommend them to anyone who is suffering with foot and back pain. I thank God every day that he sent the person to my husband who was as enthusiastic as I am about Z-CoiL shoes. God bless you.

My primary hobby has been walking, as well a hiking on weekends. In October 2006, I developed acute pain in my right heel, subsequently diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. My wife, a loyal Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear wearer, suggested I give them a try. I purchased my first pair of shoes, the Anniversary Edition, in March in Zeeland, MI. Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear has COMPLETELY relieved my pain! The anticipated long-term benefits of wearing Z-CoiL shoes, coupled with the IMMEDIATE relief I have personally experienced, fuels my passion for sharing the benefits of this amazing product with family, friends and medical colleagues. Thank you, Z-CoiL, I am very pleased.
