These are the shoes I was talking about...They're ridiculously expensive...They're called "Z Coil Shoes". I think I'll stick to my Danskos. (I agree...Nike Shox are great!)

I wanted to get z- coils but there to expensive. We were limited to picking schoes at a particurlar shoe store. I couldn't find anything comfy I tried on some new balance, k-swiss, nikes and adidas and they were all horrible. I ended up breaking down and asking a guy that worked there for his advice. I didn't think he'd be very helpful, but he ended steering me to two shoes, asics running type and a reebok walking type. I ended up getting the reeboks they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. Pretty reasonble on price as well. I wore them all day yesterday and no sore legs/ feet at all.

How much are Z-coils, i dont think any price is too expensive when it comes to ultimate comfort. I wear a 14 so do they even come in that size.

I'm wearing a pair of Merrell Topo Moc Pro's myself.

The Nike Shox look nice and I might try 'em but check the soles of the Shox model you are considering. I have seen some that have tons of cracks and crevasses (and some that rather smooth). Don't know about you, but if I accidentally step in a pts glop of choice, I don't want any of it hiding in a difficult place to clean on my shoes.

Regards,

Ken

Ok.. Im a girl.. but I would suggest some shoes with a good sturdy top to them and not a mesh top. I used to wear my brand of shoe that I use for my running training- NO PROBLEMS... until last week when I started my rounds in the AM a SCD (Seq. compression device) foot machine feel off of a bed and broke my right foot. I'll be going with a more "protectant shoe" when I head back to work........



... ya really want to know what the funny part is.... The patient had this machine on his bed and he was a Bilat. lower ext. knee ampt. of many years ago. --- I'm just wondering how the hospital will bill the use of the machine to the patient's insurance company... can you say AUDIT!


Good Luck

Hmmm...

I bought something from Payless.

Have regretted it ever since. But then again, a starving student can't really choose!

I hope I find something comfy for my feet! I'll keep this thready in mind when I get a job and need to find shoes for me feet

I wear Klogs to work in and Dr. Scholl's for school. They are ugly, but after a 12 hour day, your feet will thank you. I also own Z Coils and they are wonderful once you get them broken in, but careful! The springs are bad to grab IV tubing and will "Tug" out a line in a matter of seconds! Best wishes!
