I have worn Z-CoiL shoes for years to reduce and eliminate lower back pain. It wasn't until one year ago that I really experienced the benefits of these wonderful shoes.

I was diagnosed with severe spinal cord compression that required cervical spine surgery. The morning after the procedure I had to take my first walk. I was given hospital slippers that were flat and thin, and each step on the hard cold floor was met with a severe muscle spasm in my neck. Right foot, right side of neck pain, left foot, left side of neck pain

When I got back to the room I slipped on my Z-CoiL sandals and took another walk. I expected some relief, but to my amazement and joy, each step was accompanied by NO PAIN. No more need be said. The recovery period has been infinitely more comfortable because of a great product.

I am one very satisfied customer and though there are numerous other shoes out there touting this benefit and that benefit, there is no shoe like the Z-CoiL.

I LOVE Z-COILS...I bought my first pair in Aug. of 2006. I thought I would give them an ULTIMATE test. I purchased my white tennis Z-CoiL shoes on my way to spend 8 days and 7 nights in Florida. I am a long time chronic back pain patient. I have been going to pain management Dr's for 14 yrs. I was born w/ Spinal Bifida occulta and I also have scoliosis. I wore the shoes every day from sun up till sun down traveling everywhere from Disney World to Epcot, from Busch Gardens to Downtown Disney and the Water Parks…the WORKS. I bounced through each day like a youngster. I kept up with my 11 yr old son all day long. I swear by these shoes! No more inserts from Podiatrists and less pain meds. My ankles/shins/knees/ hips & back are so much better!! I have since graduated from Massage Therapy College. My shoes are a conversation piece, my clients notice them while facedown on the table looking through the face-rest hole. I tell them the benefits and recommend Z-CoiL shoes to each client; especially the ones who have bad trigger points in their feet, calves, thighs, glutes, and lower back. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for these AWESOME SHOES...

This will be to date, the single most important document/recommendation I have ever written. I underwent brain surgery for a ruptured basal artery aneurysm in 1986. The medication necessary to keep me alive caused a deteriorating bone disease which resulted in my needing bi-lateral total hip replacements. I have subsequently had 4 additional total hip revisions along with two other hip surgeries, making a total of 8 surgeries from 1981-2001. I was diagnosed with deteriorating disc disease in my back and neck in 2000, both of which require surgery. In early 2009 I was diagnosed with neuropathy in both legs. I have been in indescribable pain from my neck to the bottom of my feet and had reached my breaking point. I didn't think I could go on like this anymore. I was tired of drugs that didn't work and the disabling effects that kept me from enjoying my children and 4 beautiful grandchildren. I am 53 years old and had become housebound and yet the pain was still too much to bear. From my heart I must honestly say that before I decided to end it all, I prayed one more prayer.

Today, July 16, 2007, the miracle I prayed for has come to be. I walked into the Z-CoiL footwear store in Avon, Indiana. I was lovingly and warmly greeted by the store owner Stefanie Davis. I must confess that I was not overly enthusiastic and really wasn't sure I even wanted to go through the whole story again with anyone! She had a professional, kind demeanor and knew what and how to ask what my needs were. I was indeed skeptical. I found myself opening up to one of the most beautiful people I have ever met in my life, and then it happened.

I tried on a pair of the Z-CoiL shoes and I immediately felt relief. After a few tweaks, I was walking tall, picking up my feet and crying uncontrollably. I would have paid $2,000.00 for these shoes. I once again have hope! The pain started dissipating immediately and I knew I could go on. Unless you experience this type of pain, it can never be fully characterized. There are not enough words.

My miracle was made complete by then meeting Stephanie J. Stephanie is also a product specialist and again, one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. They truly cared about me - sincerely. I have NEVER received this type of customer service; real, genuine, honest, caring, loving, knowledgeable and downright fabulous. Again, there are not enough words. I will never be able to thank each of you enough. I just pray that God will bless you two over-flowingly as he has me. I love you, my dear (new/old) friends!!!!

To all that will walk in this door - I am so very happy for you. Your life is about to change and it will definitely be for the better. Thank you, Z-CoiL.

I first saw a physical therapist in my chronic pain program wearing Z-CoiL shoes. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis and disc disease in my neck that had me on disability for 2 years. Presently, I am working as a nurse and I frequently work up to 15 hours at a time. With my Z-CoiL shoes on, the only thing I notice about my feet or the pain in my body is that it is absent. I can actually work 15 hours and not have sore feet, knees or hips! What a miracle! I just bought my third pair. When people tease my about my silly looking shoes I have them try them on and they can't believe how comfortable they are. Some are considering buying their own pair. I can't say enough how much these shoes have improved my life and I highly recommend them.

Back in February and March I was going through Rehab because a couple of discs were out of place. My mom bought me a pair of Z-CoiL shoes for my early birthday present. I'm a cashier and I'm on my feet all day, and she thought it would help with my back situation. The staff in the Zeeland, Michigan, store were great at getting the shoes adjusted to where they were not tight on my toes. The shoes really help me at work to alleviate the pain. I am happy with the shoes and recommend anyone to try them. They helped me. Also, I have another co-worker who has these shoes, and she is satisfied also.

I have been wearing Z-CoiL shoes for over five years. I also own over five pair of Jordans, and they don't even come close to Z-CoiL. I don't care how they look; the feeling of Z-CoiL is outstanding. I have a herniated disc and cannot walk a shopping mall without stopping and sitting for about 15 minutes, but with Z-CoiL shoes, I can walk three malls without breaks. It's the best thing since baseball. No more back pain. Thank you, Z-CoiL.

By the way, when I first bought mine, I only had three options and now look, time to upgrade. Don't ever go out of business. Thank you again. I can play with my kids outside all day. Thank you again.
