Uniquely Engineered


The innovative engineering behind Z-CoiL® allows the shoes to be adjusted in a multitude of ways to accommodate a customer’s individual pain or gait issues. This is why we require all Z-CoiL distributors to be trained in our specialized fitting and repair techniques.

At least one member of an Affiliate Vendor’s staff is required to take a 3-day Z-CoiL Technical Training Course prior to placing an initial footwear order. These classes are held at least once a month in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at our Z-CoiL Academy training facility.

You can cover the cost of attending training through our “Gaining at Training” special: Affiliate Vendors receive 5 pairs of Z-CoiL® footwear FREE if they place their initial inventory order (a $5,000 minimum) anytime during training!

Although many of our Affiliate Vendors are already experienced shoe fitters or certified pedorthists, they still find Z-CoiL training to be extremely valuable.

“I found out there were some fantastic orthopedic adjustments you could make to the shoe. SOLID TRAINING!” Mario Calderone, Shoe Design
