the z-coil shoes removes 50% of the impact from walking of the body.
balance is no issue and they have a built in rigid orthotic and a inch of foam under the ball area of the foot.
also can be bought with a heel cover to cover up the spring but you would then lose 15% of the cushion.
i have had them a week now and found they help a great deal.
and if you go to buy them and get fitted as there are alot of adjustments you find a week later that you dont like them they can be returned for a full refund less a 40 dollar restocking fee.

The z-coil shoe looks very interesting and if nothing else, I'd like to try them on, but the closest store is at least 1 1/2 hours away, if there's no traffic. In L.A., I don't believe there is such a thing anymore!

What do these cost?

Chuck,
How long did they last or are supposed to last? Do you get weird looks from people walking by? Just how do they benefit you?
Thanks, Dale

the salesman says he gets 1 1/2 years from the uppers.
and the heel and spring can be easy replaced for 40 bucks.
they help me to be able to stand all day on cement floors. and when walking it feels as there no force to the joints.
and they are to relief pain not a fashion statement LOL
nobody has really noticed as far as i can tell.
chuck
ps so far i am very happy with them z-coil walking shoe with laces.
