Well, I just purchased my first pair today. After seeing a man wearing them last weekend, DH TOLD me I needed them.

After my rollover accident in '95, I have slowly "aged" with neck and back and arm and hip ailments. So, these Z Coils are supposed to be the be-all, end-all of (nearly) perfect shoes for even arthritis.

I'll keep everyone posted about how they do.

Check out the link I posted. It explains it all. They have coils as the heels...like car shocks.

I'm amazed, Di!
What is the price point and do you have to purchase them from a chiropractor?

Mine were $190..and no chiropractor. Just walk in. I'm sure there are several places in Tucson. I'm sold!

I want to get Summer ones next year...but since these are for work, they are tax write-offs!

Go check 'em out yourself. My salesperson took 2 hours with me to be SURE they fit.

They seem like a great solution for various painful conditions but don't you think they look a little strange? Couldn't they have hidden the spring inside a wedge-style heel or something? I have hip and lower back problems but I'd feel dorky wearing these...sorry, just my opinion!

Interestingly...the sales person said that when someone comes into her store and has issues with the "look", she tells them to "come back when you are in REAL pain".

But they do have coils enclosed, in the boot styles I think...

The style I got was the Taos Clog in black...and I don't care what they look like...as long as it helps my be pain free!!
