Reserve Your 10th Anniversary Z-CoiL Footwear at a Participating Distributor

Not since aspirin was widely recognized as a panacea for pain has a product so changed the way Americans deal with their sore bodies. More and more, people in pain are turning to Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear™ as an affordable and effective way to find relief from foot, leg, and back pain.

Ten years ago, in 1995, Z-CoiL Footwear marketed its first pain relief shoe. Since 2000, after further refining the footwear’s design, the company has rapidly grown by leaps and bounds, to share its miraculous footwear with many thousands of chronic pain sufferers.

Inventor and entrepreneur Alvaro Z. Gallegos created Z-CoiL® footwear as an answer to his own pain caused by years of competitive running. Figuring that the real culprit was the shock of repeated impact, which can be as much as five times a person’s body weight when running, Al envisioned shock-absorbing springs built into the heels of his shoes. So, starting with a box of 500 conical-shaped steel coils, Al proceeded to glue them into his existing running shoes, then into those of family and friends. Now a network of over 200 distributors is busy providing exceptional pain-relieving shoes throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

“The technology of the footwear is really quite simple. It’s a wonder no one ran with the idea ahead of me,” says Al. “Wylie Coyote had it right to put springs under his heels—I just took that crazy idea one step further. Now we offer the only footwear that is totally dedicated to pain relief.”
