Z-CoiL Outback Women’s Hiking Shoe - Orthopedic Footwear for Women - Orthotic Outdoor Hiker Boot for Pain Relief, Foot Support, and Comfort - Open Coil

So, I work in a warehouse, concrete floors, standing except for breaks, for 12 hours a day. I'm also overweight (230) and my knees, ankles, heels, legs, everything(!) takes a beating from the extra pressure as well.I've tried just about every major brand type of "comfort" walking/running/work shoes and I would still be in pain at the end of the day. Swollen feet, limping, barely able to walk when I'd get home, only to do it all over again the next day.There was even a pair that had several small springs in the heel (they worked okayish until the springs moved and I had no way to adjust them back, as the heel was fully enclosed) that didn't last long.These shoes? Heaven. I'm actually pissed at myself for not trying them sooner. The price always kinda scared me off, but holy crap are they worth it.There's a little bit of adjustment time (about to 2 days for me) where the balls of my feet were a bit sore, but even through that, my heels were fine. Now that I've gotten used to them, 12 hours is nothing. I bought the hiking boots because there's quite a bit of lateral movement with my job and I wanted some stability for my ankles, works great. At my weight, the springs don't bottom out, they are extremely strong.If you're a half size, order up. I'm a 9.5 and bought a 10. They include a pair of inserts to make up some of the space, but I do have to wear double socks to ensure a proper fit. YMMV.I can't say enough good things about these shoes, as long as I work in a warehouse or on my feet, I will buy these shoes, price be damned. They are worth it!I DID NOT receive any type of discount or anything of that sort. I paid full price and I'd pay it again. :)

Wore for two weeks with amazing pain relief in my ankle, knees and hips. Then I noticed my toes were starting to hurt and I need a size up in shoes. Wish I could return.

My $300 pair of shoes came with two different coil covers. One was non-slip, and the other one was rugged. Very disappointing!

I like the feel and the ankle support.

Seriously. I've worn Z-coils for about 10 years now, and this model is the A+ of the line. Extremely comfortable provides full ankle and arch support.I have chronic back and hip pain due to an old injury in my 20's. I also have high arches and plantar fasciitis. My work requires me to stand on my feet long hours, as well as light walking, bending, and climbing stairs - all things that aggravate my physical condition. These shoes help me lower my pain levels and keep up with my peers.

I couldn't be happier with Z-Coils. They've save me from inactivity (plantar fascitis - lower back issues). I'm a busy nurse, walking all day. I now have 4 pairs of these great shoes. The hiking boats allow me to walk my dog in comfort and hike a hill or two. My sandals are more than comfortable. My black Z-coils for work have been a life saver. And my gray walking shoes just ad to my wardrobe for daily z-coil use. HIGHLY recommend these shoes.

A little tight over the toes. Back savers. Can’t work without them. Half sizes would be great

I will refer them to my co- workers.
