Trendy Z-CoiL Shoes Put Spring in Celebrities' Step

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - You now have reason to toss your towering heels and painful pumps away in the name of fashion. The pain-relieving footwear line Z-CoiL promises to be the savior of your tender, aching soles.

Once just an orthotic health trend, the shoes have now found a niche in the fashion world. A slew of celebrities and public figures, from Helena Bonham Carter and Robert DeNiro to Bill Clinton and the founders of Google, have been shod in the springy space-age footwear. The nationwide demand is now being met by shoe retailers who are stocking their shelves with the revolutionary pain-relieving line.

Z-CoiL's awkwardly-shaped trendsetting design guarantees to lessen the severity of back pain while combating common podiatric ailments. Armed with a cushioned sole and a patented shock-absorbing heel coil, Z-CoiL shoes are engineered to distribute weight more evenly and reduce painful impact.

Statistics report that over two-thirds of Americans will sustain some foot problem in their lifetime. With that date in mind, the inventors of the Z-CoiL technology knew a product with promise to mitigate foot, leg and back pain will surely find demand.

This testimonial from Helena Bonham Carter appears on the company's website: "It's like walking on grass, barefoot, and I feel I have much more stamina. They cushion you from the exhaustion of everyday life."

Testimonial of the Month - March 2009

I am indeed a fan and an evangelist of Z-CoiL shoes! I have barely taken them off since buying them in July. They are so comfortable! It's like walking on grass, barefoot, and I feel I have much more stamina. They cushion you from the exhaustion of everyday life. Everywhere I go I get asked about them and complimented about their look. Some find them a source of mirth, but I'm the last one laughing 'cos they don't know how blissfully comfortable they are. I am a true Z-CoiL die hard.

Founder Spotlight - Al's Podcast Interview

As the inventor of Z-CoiL footwear, Al Gallegos was invited to be a special guest at the Sixth Anniversary Open House Celebration of Seattle's Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear® store, held February 6-8, 2009.

As always, Al greatly enjoyed meeting customers old and new, personally fitting them in the shoes, and listening to their stories of how his invention has changed their lives for the better.

The owner of the store, podiatrist Dr. Lotchie Kerch, also interviewed Al for a special podcast now posted on the Z-Blog Reporter blog. They talk about a wide range of subjects, from the process Al went through to make his vision a reality, to the significant pain relief benefits his footwear provides and his plans for the future.

Al says that, at 78, he doesn't have the quite the same energy and flexibility he used to have, but he makes a point of staying active. In fact, he still does sprints in his Z-CoiL® shoes!

Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear® featured on Good Morning America!

It was very exciting to see the anchors of Good Morning America wearing Z-CoiL footwear this morning! That’s right—Diane Sawyer (who was wearing one of my personal favorites, the Mary Jane-style Taos Strap), Chris Cuomo, Robin Roberts, and Sam Champion all gathered Around the Water Cooler with features correspondent Taryn Winter Brill to discuss the “uniqueness” of Z-CoiL footwear.

First Diane Sawyer posed the central Z-CoiL question, “Can they save lives, knees, hips, and even your joints?” Taryn then declared that she was calling this segment “The Water Coiler” and segued into a discussion of shoes that deliver health benefits to your body.
The segment, in my opinion, focused too much on the shoe’s unusual design rather than revealing the health benefits associated with Z-CoiL. I think it would have been far more powerful if Taryn had interviewed an actual Z-CoiL customer whose life has been changed by a pair of shoes.

Still, we’re all very excited to have been featured on Good Morning America! The buzz is already growing and circulating all over the country, according to many of our distributors.

Check out the GMA segment below and let us know your thoughts on this morning’s “Around the Water Coiler!”
