I suffer with a disability known as "dropped foot" (also called "foot drop"). This is a result of a ruptured disc in my lower back, which has since been removed, but has left me with some lasting nerve and muscle damage, the worst of it being "dropped foot" on my left side. I cannot lift my left foot at all and must concentrate on every single step I take. I walk with a limp and cannot run,

Hi, Carolyn, I just had to write and tell you how ECSTATIC I am about my new Z-Coil shoes! I come from a family of folks who all have structural problems with our feet.

Arthritis Community & ForumAfter a couple of really bad falls - right on my knees on concrete floors, I began to develop osteoarthritis - but slowly, over time. Now, like 10 years later, my right knee is bone-on bone and my left is just about that way too.

I had no idea when I first tried on the Z-Coils that wearing these shoes was going to make such a difference to me. Shoes are just shoes right? Wrong! Z-Coil is in a class by itself. Within days of wearing these shoes, the pain that I had for over six months in the heel of my right foot was gone. And wearing these shoes energizes me. Instead of hitting a hard surface, my feet hit a receptive one.
