I suffer with a disability known as "dropped foot" (also called "foot drop"). This is a result of a ruptured disc in my lower back, which has since been removed, but has left me with some lasting nerve and muscle damage, the worst of it being "dropped foot" on my left side. I cannot lift my left foot at all and must concentrate on every single step I take. I walk with a limp and cannot run,

I have worn the Z-coil shoes for about three months. I find the black Freedom 2000 very comfortable - no jarring on the heel when running slowly. People comment that I look taller.

My feet hurt so bad at the end of the day that when I went to bed at night I had to prop my feet up on a pillow so that they did not touch the bed while I slept.
