Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear™ Nursing Testimonials Published Daily

Port Townsend, WA - Thousands of nurses will celebrate National Nurses Week May 6-12 wearing "funny-looking" shoes with a big spring in the heel. The shoes, called Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear™, have become a boon for medical professionals forced to work standing for extended periods of time. The Z-Blog Reporter, a syndicated blog maintained by a multi-Z-CoiL shoe owner (6 pair), will publish personal pain relief stories of nurses throughout the week. http://z-coil.blogspot.com

"Z-CoiL Footwear has literally changed my life," says Claudia McIntosh, an Albuquerque, New Mexico nurse. "I suffered from severe foot pain from years of hard hospital floors and extremely long hours. The Z-CoiLs have taken all of my pain away and I have tons more energy …"

Liz Pawlyk, a nursing student in Reading, Pennsylvania, says after trying Z-CoiLs "I never looked back…My feet are pain free and no longer an issue. I can't begin to express my gratitude to your company."

Founder and inventor Al Z. Gallegos opened his first Z-CoiL store in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1995. The company now produces a variety of styles, each featuring a thick, conical heel spring which absorbs up to 50% of the impact created by walking or running. The shoes also have a rigid, built-in orthotic that cradles the mid-foot, equalizing pressure distribution to help prevent heel spurs and plantar fasciitis.

Feet take tremendous abuse, many podiatrists and orthopedic specialists agree. The impact of walking and running can deliver forces up to five times our body weight. That's a lot, considering the average American adult weighs 140 pounds or more.

"I now commonly recommend Z-CoiLs to my patients for foot, ankle, leg, knee, hip, and all back pain," says Aaron B. Kaufman, an osteopathic doctor in Albuquerque, who also wears the shoes. "It's hard to think about wearing any other shoes now because these feel so good. I tell my patients that I'm addicted to my Z-CoiLs."

Z-CoiL, a small company on a mission, is gaining a tremendous and loyal following as word of its pain relief benefits spreads. It is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has more than 200 authorized distributors nationwide, including several in Canada and Mexico.
