Arthritis
Arthritis refers to more than 100 different degenerative diseases that affect the areas in or around joints. It causes pain, loss of movement, and sometimes swelling. Joints inflamed and distorted by arthritis find no comfort from a day?s pounding in ill-fitting shoes or from feet whose padding has grown thin with age.
The most prevalent form of Arthritis is osteoarthritis, in which the cartilage that covers the ends of bones in a joint deteriorates, causing pain and loss of movement as bone begins to rub against bone.
Rheumatoid arthritis, or RA, is an autoimmune disease in which the joint lining becomes inflamed. This is one of the most serious and disabling types of arthritis, and affects mostly women.

How Z-CoiL® footwear can help:
Maintaining flexibility is important for those with arthritis, although pain and stiffness can make movement difficult. Z-CoiL® footwear helps improve your mobility in a variety of ways. The heel coil returns energy to the wearer by up to 50%, putting that extra “spring” in your step, while the rocker-bottom sole promotes a smooth, rolling gait that gently propels you forward. The shock-absorbing coil and thick forefoot cushioning also reduce any impact to your aching joints.
