New Styles Available!

Several new styles have been introduced this month.

Some are in a test market, meaning if they have a good reception and the shoes fit people well, they will be put into the full line of production. These include the Taos Zip, the Bone SideWinder Sandal, the Taos Strap and the Zueco Strap.

Others are in a Limited Edition status, which means that they will not be reproduced, so get them while you can! These include the brown/tan Men's SideWinder Sandal and the Lo-Cut Dress boot for the ladies.

Here's just one example - the new Zueco Strap!

Knoty Boy Asymmetiric Laces Good Fit For Z-CoiL Footwear

Z-Blog Reporter: "Knoty Boy - Press Release:

Knoty Boy Asymmetiric Laces Good Fit For Z-CoiL Footwear Dealers

#1 3rd Party Lace 4 Revolutionary Spring Soled Shoe: Conforms Lace-Up Footwear 2 Normal & Sensitive Feet

i-Newswire, 2005-01-25 - Denver, CO - Knoty Boy introduces Asymmetiric laces - an elastic shoelace that allows lace shoes to become slip-ons yet maintain even tension throughout the entire foot. The high tech elastic laces are the number one third party accessory sold by Z-CoiL dealers nationwide.

Z-Coil Footwear Dealer Feedback

I sell Knoty boy shoelaces with almost every pair of
lace up shoes that go out the door. My customers love
them for many reasons but the main reason is the ease
that they can put on their shoe and the comfort the
lace affords. I have been told many times how amazed
they are that they never realized just how much time
they spent re-tying their shoes throughout the day
because they came untied or they were tight or loose.
I am also told how they love how secure their shoe
feels without being tight.

There was an article in a newspaper that I read about
how the younger generation are causing themselves many
foot problems because they leave their shoelaces
untied or very loosly tied so they can slip their
shoes on and off. Many of my customers also buy laces
for their children to aleviate this problem not to
mention that the Knoty boy is so much safer for an
active child. Cannot get caught in the bicycle, will
not come loose while they are climbing, skateboarding
or playing games such as football, baseball, socker or
tennis.

Another free pair given away!

Congratulations to Marsha, who has earned a free pair of Z-CoiL's for referring 10 people into the store that purchased shoes!

When I first met Marsha, she came into the store wearing an orthotic boot on her foot and ankle. She had been suffering from plantar fasciitis, but at this point, she had actually fractured the bones in the left side of her foot. Marsha is an instructor at Curves, the Ladies athletic workout place, and she had been in a cast and the boot for way too long and she was ready to try something different so she could get back to her job and her routine. She decided on the hikers, which could keep her foot stabilized like the boot did yet give her the impact reduction to aid in the healing. She still had two weeks left in the boot, but opted to wear the Z-CoiL's instead.

The Z-CoiL's turned out to be a life changer, because not only did they help her get back to her exercise routine, but they also managed to free her from the pain of plantar fasciitis! She is now a true believer in the footwear, and has several pair. Her free pair went to her husband, so he can also enjoy the benefits that Z-CoiL's can bring!

Doctor Referrals

We are starting to get more and more doctor referrals. When we first opened our doors, we did several mass mailings to various types of doctors, including podiatrists, neurosurgeons, chiropractors and sports medicine physicians, with little results. I believe that the doctors just threw the information away thinking it was a fad or a hoax.

What we find happening is that patients are going into their doctors after wearing Z-CoiL's and telling them their success stories and also telling them that they no longer need to see them and no longer need their cortisone shots! This is making the doctors take notice of the benefits that Z-CoiL's are providing.

Take one case in particular... we had a podiatrist who started referring maybe one patient every couple of months. I called them his "hopeless cases", the ones that he had run out of routine treatment for. These were severe arthritic ankles, extreme heel pain, and chronic tendonitis. Almost every case achieved pain-free status after wearing the Z-CoiL's. Finally, after a year, he sent his wife in. She had suffered from chronic heel pain for over 10 years with no relief from all of the traditional treatments. Within 48 hours, her heel pain was totally resolved when she was in the footwear, and after just a few weeks, was able to wear other shoes occasionally without pain. She no longer needed to have something on her feet when she was on the carpeting in her home. Needless to say, the doctor became a true believer in the footwear and has recommended many more patients on a frequent basis!

Sometimes, the story just has to hit home for us to believe in something... So, if you are wearing Z-CoiL's and they have benefited you, please make sure that you tell your doctor so that others can also achieve pain-free living.

Use judgment!

I had a person buy a pair of Z-Duty boots on Sunday. She was suffering from bursitis in the hip area and the pain radiated down her leg. The footwear felt wonderful, and she proceeded to take an hour walk on a trail that had some hills in her Z's.

She called the next day and said that she had a flare-up after her walk. In talking to her, she had been only doing 20 minute walks before that on fairly flat terrain, but the shoes felt so good, and she felt that they were a miracle cure and she could do anything! She realized that she was over zealous and knew she did something that she shouldn't have.

She came into the store and exchanged them for a more appropriate walking shoe, the Freedom 2000, and she is now going to slowly up her routine until she can get to that hour walk that she longs for.

The lesson in this story is that even though you may feel much better and have less pain, you still have an injury, and going from a snail pace to a speeding train will cause issues. You need to ease back into things, allowing your muscles to adjust and strengthen, before you tackle Mount Everest!
