Z-CoiL Women's Freedom Pain-Relief Footwear, Open Coil

I have been having issues with balance and walking, cancer survivor, these shoes have got me back on my feet.I do my Tai Chi now and can unweight (broken toes in past, never could do that).While I was having trouble getting out of bed to go for walks, I now almost double my step goal.I remember seeing a lady on the train and asking her about her shoes, she simply said, I can walk now with no pain. She was telling the truth.I have been pain free since I got them, getting a pair for my mom, and my pregnant daughter (they tried on and walked and fell in love with them too.)

Excellent shoes! Sturdy and well designed for comfort. Stood 16 hours walking on tile floors, these shoes held up perfectly. Been having foot pain over a month however today my pain is gone because of these wonderful shoes. No foot pain, no lower back pain or discomfort, and no knee pain. Would absolutely recommend these shoes.

I bought these shoes hoping they would help with all my foot issues (heel spur, bursitis, plantar fasciitis.) I read the reviews and they seemed perfect. When I first got them, I wasn't happy with how heavy they were, they were like hiking boots, but I figured that was necessary for the support. After a month of wearing them, I think they might have actually aggravated my foot issues. I wish I could have tried these shoes without spending so much money, because for me, they didn't help at all.I'm back to my other shoes with my inserts, which seem to help a bit. After just a few days of not wearing these, my feet don't hurt as much.

Got these shoes about a week ago and I just couldn't be happier! Put them on right out of the box, didn't get them adjusted, but they seemed to fit fine. The next day, I put on the inserts to make them a bit smaller and give a little more padding. Immediately, I felt the difference - my Achilles' tendons didn't hurt so much! Within a week, I was walking almost pain free, and can now jog again. My pain was so severe I couldn't walk down steps without assistance. These shoes have done the paces, I have two dogs and we walk about five miles a day on some pretty steep hills, and I can now keep up without problems or pain. I tend to slam down pretty hard on my heels when I walk, these shoes absorb the shock. Just can't say enough good about these shoes, I am a new active person again!

Buyer beware if you have severe foot pain or feet problem this is not for you. I have plantar fasciitis with little to no arch in my feet and these shoes lifted my arch up but I didn't get that much support so it makes my lower back hurt like hell. I brought these specifically for work I wore them a couple of times too work and it made my back hurt so bad I couldn't bend over if I needed to bend over I would have to bend at an angle from the side. I don't know but for me wearing these for long periods or strenuous contact it didn't help. Only worked good for wearing outside of the house and running errands. oOnly time I got comfort with these shoes. And also they fit a little bit bigger to me so I had to insert the non-slip soles that came with the shoes as an option and at times walking the coils feel heavy I can feel the back of the shoe as if it is steel toes in the back.

I have RA and work on my feet (service industry) and these shoes absolutely take the pressure off my joints. I did have to add a more cushioned insole, and the fit is just a bit too narrow for my feet. I usually do not have an issue with width. I will say all in all if you're dealing with pain, these shoes do work.The quality is good, but not great. I've had mine for about a month and wearing them every day, the soles are starting to wear and the stitching is starting to loosen. For the price, I would love for them to be more durable, as it usually will take me about 6mo to a year to go through shoes. I'd hate to have to replace them so soon, not that I could afford to. I might just start switching them out with other service shoes to prolong their life.

I had severe foot pain in my heel & toes and could barely walk after being on my feet at two jobs. I was buying new shoes every month as well as inserts. Nothing helped my pain. I ordered these shoes and paired them with a plantar fasciitis insert from dr. Scholls. These shoes are AMAZING ! I won't buy any other shoes. I am still in disbelief that my pain is GONE. I can be on my feet for hours with no problems. In about a month I'm no longer wobbly on my bad knee, my back pain is considerably lessened, my swelling by my knee has went down and standing is no longer horrible.

This is my first ever review on a product purchased on Amazon. These ugly shoes have saved my life. I work in a grocery store and am on my feet for 9-10 hours a day. These shoes have saved me. My feet are no longer throbbing at the end of the day. I can stand for hours without any pain in my feet, legs or lower back. They are worth every penny.
