TV News KPIX San Francisco - What Are Z-CoiL Shoes?

CBS 5 Eyewitness News answer man Ken Bastida visits the San Francisco Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear™ store to test out a pair of Z-CoiL Footwear.

Unfortunately, he had the name of our store wrong, did not give any identifying information like location, website or telephone, and basically concentrated on the strange look rather than the benefits that our footwear can provide! Needless to say, I was very disappointed... maybe because I take the job of helping people live a pain free life very seriously... a commitment to our customers... Well, as they say, sometimes bad press is better than no press at all!

After you listen to it, if you feel you have a story to tell about your Z-CoiL experience, please email Ken Bastida at the following address: mailto:bastida@kpix.cbs.com?subject=Z-CoiL Footwear. Maybe he will understand that we are about changing people's lives!

Till later,

It's been awhile...

A long, long, while! I actually have gotten several notes from people asking where I have been and why haven't I kept up my blog? Well, the answer is simple... kinda, sorta... I purchased the San Francisco location from Marifran Mazza on May 2, 2007. Marifran is now leading a more relaxed lifestyle and is being missed by her customers, but we will ensure we give the same high quality service that we are known for in her absence. Leading up to the purchase was a lot of research and work to understand what it meant to run two stores 60 miles apart. Since the purchase, we have done a lot of work tying the two stores together to try and ensure we have a balanced inventory which meant a lot of new computer systems... We now have both stores linked, the policies the same, and carry the same styles at both stores!

We also changed the names of both stores to Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear (formerly EZ Shoes and Z-Connection.) This has helped us get some better brand recognition for our great product!

So, I have made this promise before... I will try and get better at posting on a regular basis! There is always so many interesting and life-altering things that happen in our stores that we want to let the world know!

Thanks for being patient and we look forward to a bright future in the Z-CoiL world!

New Test Drive / Return Policy!

We have instituted a new test drive and return policy, not that anyone would want to return their Z-CoiL's!

If you are dissatisfied with your footwear for any reason during the first 14 days after purchase, you may either:

• Visit any participating Z-CoiL® distributor for a free fitting adjustment or repair; or
• Return the footwear during the first 7 days with your sales receipt to the store that you purchased it from in San Jose or San Francisco for an exchange of equal value or for a refund (minus a $10 return fee to cover costs) provided the footwear is in like-new condition and in the original box. After 7 days, you will be charged a return fee of 20% to cover cleaning and repackaging of the product or the costs associated with returning the product to the home office.

We have faith in our product and want you to know that you can feel comfortable trying Z-CoiL Footwear to relieve your pain. We do hope that if something is not right with the footwear, that you give us a chance to adjust them and make them right... but if we can't, rest assured that you can get a refund.

Until later!

Caesar...
