Z-CoiL Shoes for Pain Relief have a patented spring system and built-in orthotic plate.

Most people will suffer from some sort of foot, knee or back pain during their lifetime. And in many cases, these conditions will keep them from living a full life. But what if staying healthy was as simple as changing your shoes.

If Doctor Seuss made shoes, they might look like these shoes. While this funny footwear may make some people laugh, those who are wearing them are smiling for a different reason. They're finally walking without pain.

"It was significantly better in the knee department, perfect in the feet department, and pretty darn good in the rest of the department," said Doctor John Webster, who wears Z-Coil Shoes.

John and Karolyn Webster have been wearing Z-Coil shoes for several years. They say the springy shoes have done wonders for alleviating their aches and pains.

"With these I could walk more and enjoy more of my activities," said Karolyn Webster who also wears Z-Coil shoes. Z-Coils are named for the metal spring attached to the back of the shoe. That coil compresses during each heel-strike, absorbing some of the energy that's produced when the foot hits the ground just like a shock absorber in a car.

This can reduce the stress on the body caused by the repetitive impact of walking and running.

"The spring system reduces the impact by 50 percent, but it also gives you 50 percent energy return. So itactually pushes you into your next walking step," said Christy Contreras who is the co-owner of HealthFoot.
