As many of us know in the pedorthic field know, practicing good foot care may lead to lasting health as we age in life. This is especially true for diabetic patients in their treatment. However, sometimes the products that work to ensure or help to maintain our care aren't always fashionable or fun.
As health care providers we've experience many cases in which patients are reluctant to use a particular device because of its appearance. Z-Coil is a company based out of New Mexico who is taking a different approach to foot care, leg, and back pain.

The shoe features a double rocker-bottom design. According to their website, "if you suffer from injuries or arthritis and need to limit motion in your feet or ankles, or if you need to reduce impact to your heels at heel strike, as the foot rolls faster off your heel with a rocker sole." But, the unique feature about the shoe is its coil design. Z-Coil claims their coil provides 50% more cushioning than convenient shoes. The coil also rotates to adjust to different settings. Of course, this features illustrates the custom fitting experience you'll encounter at Z-Coil distributors. However, keep in mind, this product is not a diabetic shoe. Rather, its designed to relieve foot, leg, and back pain. For additional information visit their website
