Over the past 8 years I have had terrible foot, knee and hip problems.  I had 2 surgeries on my feet within 2 years.  I had a major Sciatica attack 3 years ago, taking over 9 months to heal. It involved a lot of pain medicine, took cortisone shots, saw physicians and did therapy.  I finally went to alternative medicine to heal.  It reoccurred several times, but is controlled by diet and stretching.  Last summer I fell and injured my hamstring, and it took months of therapy and the workman's comp therapist damaged both of my knees.  The orthopedic surgeon said I needed knee surgery on both knees and gave me more pills.

Over all the past 8 years, I have worked as a marketing director in the health care field.  There have been times when I went to call on a hospital and could hardly get out of the hospital and back to my car.  I have taken about every anti inflammatory there is and some that have been removed from the market.  I see a massage therapist on a monthly basis and am usually in pain.

One year ago, my daughter told me about some crazy looking shoes that a friend of hers sold in Overland Park, Kansas.  I finally broke down and checked them out.  Crazy was not the word for them.  I did some research about Z-CoiL^® Pain Relief Footwear^™ and finally bought a pair of the sandals.  My knees were so swollen, my gate was terrible and so I only lasted about 2 days in the shoes.  After several months my husband suggested that I try to wear the "crazy expensive shoes" again that I had purchased.  I gave myself 2 weeks to wear them everyday.  I loved them.  I purchased a pair  of clogs for winter, and just last month purchased a pair of tennis shoes, so I can start walking on the tread mill until spring arrives and I can walk outside.

I can now last at least 8 hours a day marketing; I can enjoy the weekends with my husband shopping, site seeing , whatever; I am planning on riding my bike on the bike trails in the spring; and I am looking at playing gold again.  I am down to one Aleve a day, and am hoping to eventually getting off of that.  I occasionally get brave and try to wear my regular shoes for a short period of time, and then I have to pay the price of pain.

At first everyone laughed, made fun of how high I could bounce, all the "spring" jokes.  But now that I can join in marketing events, walk, be out of most of my pain and do trade shows for 10 hours and be able to walk out at the end of the day is wonderful.

I market for your company everyday--to the health care employees.  A physicians office of 25 employees let me do a luncheon for them because they wanted to find out more about my shoes.  People stop me on the street, at trade shows, hospitals and so forth just to see what my shoes are all about and where they can get them.  The younger generation thinks that I am cool, and yesterday at a meeting of 60 health care professionals an older couple wanted to know where I got my Z-CoiL^® shoes--she was 80 years and was down in her hips and had not been able to walk for a year.  I am your walking testimony that they work.  My Sciatica has not given me trouble in 6 or 7 months.

I bought a pair of Z-CoiL^® footwear from Z-CoiL^® Pain Relief Footwear^™ in Ellisville, MO in September 2006.  My Z-CoiL^® shoes were really awesome in Europe.  Our first outing was near Florence Italy.  Our group chose to go and see the villages along the Cinque Terre rather than museums.  Little did we know that we were walking between villages and that streets are sometimes steep steps.  We put in over 3 miles that day and I know that I could not have made it without the shoes.  The knees would not have made it otherwise. In Venice I walked all day and could have kept going.  One of the shop clerks asked my friends if those shoes were "the style in the US?”  I have several friends who may be coming to see you.  You definitely have a raving fan!

I work at one of the casinos here in Lake Charles, Louisiana. It's a very fast-paced business and we're constantly on our feet 8 to 9 hours a day. I have had lower back pain for years and recently developed severe pain in my left foot. I went to an orthopedist and he found that I have arthritis in my heel and also very flat feet. I tried some other well known shoes and some arch supports, but they didn't help. Admittedly, I am one of the world's worst skeptics, but after reading about Z-CoiL^® shoes online, I decided to purchase a pair. Carlin Chapman, at the store here in Lake Charles, was very helpful and knowledgeable and took the time to make sure I was properly fitted in the shoes. He even made some adjustments to them for the way I walk! After just a couple of days the improvement was amazing and I no longer have to take pain medicine to get through the day! I've been praising them to my friends and co-workers and several of them plan to get a pair. I'm sure, like me, they'll only wish they had purchased them sooner.

Thanks Z-CoiL!
