Z-COIL SHOES : We Fix Traffic Tickets Blog

Z-COIL SHOES : We Fix Traffic Tickets Blog: "Most of you know I’ve been a fan of Z-Coil shoes for about 10 years. We went camping and did some hiking over the fourth of July in Joshua Tree National Park. I say some hiking because my Z-Coil High Desert Hikers literally fell apart during a short hike on the third. The glue holding the soles to the body gave way and that was the end of any more hiking. When packing for our trip

High Desert Hiker
I selected a pair of gray Z-coil hikers that had been barely broken-in over an older pair of brown hikers that are well worn. Who would have thought that a $250.00 pair of shoes would fall apart?"

Relieving the pain of Plantar Fasciitis

My good friend Linda Telge in San Diego was an operating room nurse for
almost 30 years when she developed painful Plantar Fasciitis that threatened to
ruin her nursing career. But, after just 30 days of wearing Z-Coils shoes,
the pain went away entirely. So, what did she do? She quit her
nursing job and opened a Z-Coil Pain Relief Footwear store in La Mesa( z-shoe.com) . Of course, all
of the doctors laughed at her and told her she would be back to nursing within a
month. Well, that was six years ago, and Linda is still pain-free and
helping other people to find pain relief with Z-Coils too. (Read Article)

Shoes That Give Back to Your Body and Community

Positive Magazine
July 2009

Shoes are one of our convenient inventions to protect our feet against harsh terrain. Shoes have evolved over decades into six-inch heels for women and ridged footwear for men; but what if our shoes provided more than protection and discomfort. What if they could give your body back some of the energy it expends in walking. Z-Coil shoes are said to help strengthen your body, provide buffer so that being on your feet doesn’t wear your energy down. I had to try out a pair for myself

I picked up a pair of Z-Coil shoes ... this past week and I must say, they are comfortable. The spring acts like a firm box spring to assist in making walking smooth and less of a shock on the body. Walking with that extra pep in your step is a clear benefit of wearing Z-Coils. Also, when walking uphill the spring provides extra momentum to makes each step relaxing rather than arduous exercising: certainly a benefit for those who travel frequently and find yourself walking from terminal to terminals. Also, great for active persons who want a shoe that doesn’t drag or lag. When I put on my Z-Coils I feel like running. (Read More)

Z-Coil Shoes Alleviate Foot & Back Pain As You Walk

Written by Lynnette on February 16, 2008

Have you seen commercials for Z-Coil shoes on TV? We have a store here in Nashville, and I've been seeing a lot of commercials for Z-Coil on TV lately.

I've also seen quite a few people wearing these shoes -- both here, and in other states. And, I have to say... while they look quite unique, they are intriguing and interesting to say the least.

I thought I'd see what this fun new form of footwear was all about. Here's what I've learned: (Read More)

Product Innovation - No Pain, No Gain

By Troy Marcyes, Intuit

In the early 1980's, Al Gallegos was running an average of seven miles a day. He suffered all the typical injuries associated with running. And although he owned a shoe store at the time and had access to all types of running shoes, he was unable to find a shoe that eased his pain.

Realizing that the source of his pain was impact, Al reasoned that putting a "shock-absorber" in the heel of his shoe would reduce the force of impact. And as an added benefit, a spring would provide some form of energy return, to help him run faster and farther.

Caeser Snee, owner of Z-Coil Pain Relief Footwear stores in San Jose and San Francisco, recently shared his business insight at the Intuit Small Business Town Hall on May 14th, 2009. The Town Hall featured numerous Small Business owners sharing their views on how to survive and thrive despite the economic climate. (Read More)

Treating foot pain without surgery

By GLORIA CAMPOS / WFAA-TV

DALLAS - While the women's dress shoe industry is a $15 billion annual business, another $5 billion is spent each year trying to find relief for aching feet.

But there is some good news: Most foot pain can be treated without surgery.

"This is public enemy number one," said Dr. Kelly Walker while eyeing a high-heeled sandal in a catalog. "They are beautiful and I would like to be able to wear them every day, but I can't either."

Walker, a podiatrist, said she knows about foot pain first hand since she suffers from plantar fasciitis. (Read More, Watch Video)

Mommy Brain Reports: Review- Z-Coil Shoes

Apr-30-2009 By Monica

I’m always on the lookout for the coolest things around, and this review is no exception!

I was watching The Doctors one day, and they had on a pair of interesting looking shoes, that they claimed made them stand a little taller, and helped their posture. They also explained how these shoes acted like shock absorbers for their bodies.

I thought that had to be a gimmick, but I was willing to try them, so I contacted Z-coil and explained how my back, knees, and hips have hurt since carrying my twins, and my husband’s back and knees have hurt him from all of the running he did while in the Marine Corps.

They actually agreed to give us each a pair of shoes… But it wasn’t something they could just send us.

We had to go to a local authorized dealer to get custom fitted for our Z-coil shoes. (Read More)
