I started developing plantar fasciitis in September 2005, but did not know what was causing the pain. By March 2006, I could only stand on my feet to walk, etc. a total of about three hours a day. I was determined that I could remedy this problem better than spending non-insurance money at an orthopedic doctor. After research on the Internet, I found a reference to Z-CoiL shoes. I purchased these shoes immediately and have worn them for the last nine months. I no longer have the excruciating heel pain, and I am almost back to normal. It was a gradual process, not overnight. I am happy to say I will be able to wear dressier shoes this Spring to my daughter's college graduation. However, I will continue to be a loyal customer to Z-CoiL. I never want to experience that pain again!!

I purchased my Z-Walkers in Phoenix, Arizona, in January 2004. I was a med-surg nurse pulling three 12-hour shifts at that time. It was almost immediate relief. I changed jobs one year ago, and now work four 9-hour shifts in a busy endoscopy center. I have both plantar fasciitis and dupuytrens disease. These shoes truly save me at work. I only wear them at work, though I plan to use them outside of work as soon as I purchase another pair. There isn't a store in Indiana, so I'll be traveling to Ohio to buy again. Not a day goes by that I don't get asked to explain my shoes. Only drawback is you have to feel them to believe them!

I first saw an article about Z-CoiL¢ç shoes in August of 2003. I thought they looked like a good idea, but I was still skeptical.

I am a nurse and work 12-hour shifts. I have had plantar fasciitis for about seven years, and have tried all the different shoes?Birkenstocks, Dansko, Merrill, Nike?nothing made any difference. Well, five weeks ago in Tucson, Arizona, I decided to buy a pair of Z-CoiL¢ç footwear, as they were the only shoes I had never tried.

After three weeks all my foot pain is gone, and I can now work more than two days in a row. As a matter of fact, I have worked eight days now without difficulty.

People think they look weird, but cool, and kids really get a kick out of them. The best part, though, is jumping out of bed in the morning and my feet don't hurt at all. I was starting to worry that I might have to give up my ER job and get a sit-down job, but I'm good now. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful shoe. I get tons of questions about them and I tell everyone how great they are and where the nearest shop is.

I just bought the Z-CoiL¢ç Freedom 2000 two days ago, and I am so impressed!! I have suffered from plantar fasciitis for about a year, thinking that surgery or cortisone shots were my only hope, and I am very pleased to tell you that within the first DAY of wearing Z-CoiL¢ç shoes, I had absolutely ZERO pain in my foot!! My husband noticed this morning, too, that I could walk normally right after waking up, which is something I haven¡¯t been able to do for over a year, due to very sore feet.

I have been wearing them around with a HUGE smile on my face, and am overly excited to tell anyone who asks (and some who don¡¯t) just how amazing these shoes are! Thank you for giving me my life back!! There is no frustration quite like being 29 and suffering from such severe foot pain that you are always grumpy. So thank you not only from myself, but my husband and kids as well!!
