Revitalize your Z's!

Are your Z-CoiL's looking a bit tired and worn? Kinda like this??



The above clogs came from one of our customers who bought her Z-CoiL's originally from another dealer over 4 years ago. Since then, she has bought a pair of Taos Clog Straps from us, but does not want to wear them at work. So, she wanted to refresh her old pair and give them new life. She asked if our resident artist, Allison, could give them new life... and this is the result!



With some paint and a new set of heels, they look fantastic! So, if your footwear is looking a bit ragged on the edges, let us give them a tune-up and a paint job to make them fresh!

Testimonial - Alfonso Castaneda

Al first purchased his Z-CoiL Footwear in July, 2005. He is the owner of the best Mexican restaurant in a small town south of here, San Juan Batista. Al was suffering from heel spurs which was impacting his ability to run his business.

"I was limping a lot plus I always had a lot of pain," says Al. "Now, I am so happy to say that I have no more pain and no more limping!

"The best thing is that now when I put on my regular shoes or tennis shoes, I don't have pain or limping. I tell everyone I can about these great shoes. I am the type of person that when something is good, I want the world to know!" concludes Al.

Al stopped by the store to see the new styles and pick up more cards. If you are in San Juan Batista, stop in at Dona Esther's Mexican Restaurant and have a great meal! You won't regret it...

Testimonial - Raenna Lanphear

Raeanna first came to our store in May, 2004 with, as she puts it "bad, bad feet!" She was suffering from plantar fasciitis and heel pain. Raeanna works in a warehouse on her feet for long shifts on concrete... which has taken a toll.

"I came into the store one day when I was having a very hard time walking," says Raeanna. "I have worn every style of walking she and have had orthotics for years in my shoes, but nothing was working.

"So, I thought I would try Z-CoiL's. They are the only shoes I can wear! They save me every day. I can walk all over the place," concludes Raeanna.

Raeanna was picking up her fourth pair of Z-CoiL's... another pair of Freedom 2000's to add to her collection!

Testimonial - Bernadette Solis

Pictured above is Bernadette Solis and her little one. Bernadette first came into our store in May of 2004 suffering from pain caused by plantar fasciitis and scoliosis.

"I have been battling with plantar fasciitis for two years +," says Bernadette. "I have undergone steroid injections but they only helped me temporarily.

"My doctor had suggested that I have surgery to correct my bone again. I was in a lot of pain until I was introduced to Z-CoiL. I don't need to have surgery and I am totally pain free!" concludes Bernadette.

Bernadette was in getting a second pair of Z-CoiL's when we went through the referral list. After deciphering some of the referrals, like Bernadette the charge nurse, or Bernadette the ER nurse, we determined that she indeed qualified for a FREE PAIR!

Congratulations to Bernadette! Enjoy!

Customer Service!

I have written about customer service before, and today, we had an affirmation that we are doing great in this area! We received an unsolicited letter from a new customer who came into our store with her mother for a pair of Z-CoiL's.

Dear Andrew,

I am writing to thank you for the great customer service you provided in assisting my mother, my sister and I to purchase our Z-Coil Pain Relief Footwear on Saturday, January 7, 2006 and on Wednesday, January 11,2006 respectively. Each one of us brought home a pair of nice shock­-absorbing shoes. We like them very much as they are comfortable to fit on our feet and they function as described.

We concluded after visiting your store that you are a neat sales associate. Your professional knowledge about the products your store carries is apparent: you brought to us various relevant information about the shoes and in what way they might help. Your customer-oriented attitude is easy to tell: you went back and forth the showroom and the storeroom many times to check for the availability of the different styles and/or sizes for us happily. You also made sure the shoes were of custom fit on us before we left the store.

Your smile is beyond compare. Our ultimate comment is that you commit yourself to great sales service. We have to specifically thank you for your patience and your enthusiasm as we had taken prolonged time to reach our final decision as to our selection. We just want to express our feeling that it has been a nice experience to shop in EZ-Shoes. We all got what we want and we thank you!

We believe that we can count on your words for any after-sale service that we might need in future, albeit has not happened yet.

Once again, great products and excellent service! Please feel free to use this letter as a testimonial for your service/products/store.

Sincerely,
Susan Ho
Happy Customer

Thank you, Susan, for recognizing the effort that goes into our process and for allowing us to share the experience that you had! You know you can count on us also to follow through with any issue that may arise as you wear your Z-CoiL Footwear. And thank you, Andrew, for living up to our customer's expectations!

A Tale of Two Nurses!

One of our dealers, Debi Rogers, wrote this and it is a story we hear all the time in our store! Enjoy!



A Tale of Two Nurses

There once was a lady who worked as a nurse,
Whose 12-hour shifts left her ready to curse.
Her knees and her feet would be screaming in pain,
And her back felt as if she'd been hit by a train!

She tried to relieve it with heat and with ice...
And pain pills and bourbon... and green tea and spice.
She'd get some relief but the next day would be
As painful as ever - would she never be free?

Then one day another nurse stopped by her place
With a spring in her step and a smile on her face.
And behold on her feet were some funky new shoes!
"Yeah, they're strange, " said her friend, "but here's the good news..."

"That cool little coil on the heel of the shoe ......
It reduces the impact - it cuts it in two!
I'm telling you girl - your pain will be gone...
So lets go to the store and try a pair on!"

So she went to the store with her friend by her side
She tried on a pair and said "Wow, what a ride!"
It felt like she walked on a pillow of air
And she knew in a moment - she must have a pair!

Back at work, she felt good - and she thanked her good friend
For those great Z-CoiL shoes brought her pain to an end!
So my friend, if long hours on your feet you must toil,
Give your body a gift - try a pair of Z-CoiL!

Testimonial - Steve Homen

Steve Homen and his wife, Brittany, are both emergency room RN's, working long and furious hours. Steve also holds a second job as an operating room RN at a second hospital. He had been suffering from bad knees when he first came into our store in August 2004 and purchased a pair of black Taos Clogs.

"My first purchase was August 2004 for work," says Steve. "I work in an ER and an OR and am on my feet 8-16 hours a day.

"Z-COiL's help with my back and keep pressure off of my knees. They are the best shoes I have ever had for standing on my feet all day!" concludes Steve.

He wanted a second pair for himself and chose the new SkyWalker soft upper. Brittany decided to take the plunge and also purchased a pair of SkyWalker's for use in her job.

Testimonial - John Vanek

John first came into our store November of 2004 complaining of foot and heel pain. He works as an Auto Service Manager and is constantly on his feet and on the go! He purchased a pair of CloudWalkers with enclosed heels.

"My brother Brian strongly suggested that I try Z-CoiL Footwear after bouting with extreme foot pain," says John. "This pain is probably related to plantar fasciitis, middle age and walking on cement floors all day. My feet were swelling and in bad shape.

"I literally limped in from the parking lot! I felt immediate comfort once I put on Z-CoiL's. My feet have healed and I would wear no other shoe at this time. I have decided to buy the High Desert Hikers so I can get back to hiking and backpacking. These shoes are very expensive, but worth the price!

"This is the best shoe buying experience. Caesar spends unlimited time making sure these shoes fit great. I am very pleased!" concludes John.

John was back in the store to have a new set of heels put on his CloudWalkers and to purchase the Gray High Desert Hikers. He has taken many hikes in his CloudWalkers, but wants to save them for work.
