Soreness from Z-CoiL's?

We had a customer come in this week complaining about some soreness in the calves and thighs after wearing her Z-CoiL's for 2 days. Her comment was that they are supposed to take away pain not cause pain! And that's exactly what they are designed for!

One of the benefits that Z-CoiL's have is that they can improve your posture. The footwear supports you better under your skeletal system, so this can tilt your hips a little forward and straighten up your upper torso. Overall, this is good, because your upper body is better supported over your hips and legs, taking stress off of the lower back... Of course, this also means that if your posture is bad, you can feel a bit of muscle soreness in the legs and occasionally the lower back until you get more used to the new stance.

If you do start getting a little sore, then take the Z-CoiL's off for a few hours and go back to your other shoes. Just keep repeating this process until you have adjusted and the soreness has subsided.

Till later,
Caesar...
