Z-CoiL Footwear is a third-generation family company based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Since 1995, we've built shoes around one idea: a patented steel coil spring in the heel that compresses on impact, then stores and returns energy with every step.Z-CoiL is made for people who walk and stand for a living, including nurses, warehouse and factory workers, teachers, retail staff, and mail carriers. It's also made for anyone who spends long hours on hard floors. Our lineup includes everyday walking shoes, sandals, and work boots, including safety toe styles with ASTM F2413 composite toes.Every pair is built to last. The steel coils are designed for a lifetime of normal use, and the coils and insoles can be replaced, so you don't have to replace the whole shoe. Every pair comes pre-fitted with a spring strength matched to your size, and we'll swap it at no charge if you'd like a different one. Z-CoiL footwear is often eligible for FSA/HSA funds, with your provider's approval.Buy directly from zcoil.com and you're covered by our 30-Day Risk-Free Trial. Wear your shoes at work, on walks, wherever you want. If they're not for you, return them within 30 days in any condition.You may have seen us on Shark Tank Season 17. We're still family-run, and we read every review. Tell us how your Z-CoiLs are treating you.

Love these shoes! They really help the pain in my legs due to my sciatica.

Z-coil springs are literally helping me get my life back. I'm forever grateful to have found these shoes. I can stand and cook dinner again. I can walk short distances with a more erect position. I am recovering for over 9 years now from a back injury. The only thing is I would like different styles added and some house slippers with the coil.

After years of wearing z-Coil sandals, I finally decided to try the hiking boots. They were also my first pair of z-coils with covered heels. I was able to comfortably wear them for a four mile hike and I look forward to having footwear appropriate for rough terrain and more challenging weather conditions. I bought them during a sale and they were a previously returned item, though they look brand new. That made the price a little easier for me. I’m really glad to have them.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your first pair of Z-CoiL hiking boots with the covered heel kept you comfortable throughout your four-mile hike. It’s wonderful to know you were able to score a great deal on them, too. We hope they serve you well on many more adventures and challenging trails ahead!
Don was very helpful! My first pair of ZCoils (2014) literally saved me from foot surgery and the first time I wore them I was able to go on a 7.5 mile hike. The styles have changed a LOT in 11 years. This was a new experience for me (buying them online versus an authorized dealer). Seamless process! I LOVE my Taos Clog - Black! These are limited edition but I really hope they become permanent. None of the other shoes have the expandable stretch on the top for an easy slip on. I really love these!
