I always wear Nike's. But I saw some folks wearing the Z-coils
while we were in Pigeon Forge last spring. Guess I'll try a pair of them. Your recommendation is quite outstanding! I once had a lots of pain in my feet and legs but I got several months of acupuncture on the bottom of my feet: much grit is needed to undergo that procedure, however. I'm gonna try the style shoe
you talked about, the next time I need footwear. Thanks, Di.

I know these aren't tennis shoes, but I wear Birkenstocks and I tell ya, when I don't have them on, my feet, legs, and back hurt. If I wear them, ahhhh...all is right with the world. They ain't purdy, but I love them!

I used to wear "Birks". The only thing is...they wear down (the cork on the souls) and my feet just go back to hurting.

With the "Z's", once the spring heal wears out (they say you'll KNOW by your gait), you just purchase replacement coils..about 40 bucks a pair....much cheaper than the original shoes. And, they say, the shoes really don't wear out! I definitely can see that. They are wonderful!!

Give me COMFORT anyday. I don't care if my shoes are made by Gucci, or Farmer Brown Ltd. So long as they are comfortable. Shot, most of the time my shoes are the ones God gave me, I run around the house barefoot. I love being al-natural...I guess I'm an Island kinda gal.

I wear Naturalizers and Nike; and my feet no longer hurt since
the acupuncture. I do a lot of walking. As I said, while on vacation I saw someone wearing Z-coils but didn't know what
they were. The first time you see them, they look kind of weird.
On the other hand, they do look comfy.

Di,
So you're transplanted from NJ to NM. That must've been quite
a change!

Yeah, those Z-Coils did look weird...But I just needed something that worked! And now all the exercising I'm doing is helping a HUGE amount. My hip no longer hurts.

Yeah, check out my "Running away" post in the "Remember?" section!
