News 8 Austin 24 Hour Local News Health Beat Strange looking shoe offers pain relief: "If you're one of the 59 million people suffering from foot pain, finding the right kind of shoe can be nearly impossible.
Just ask Yvonne Graham, a former world-class runner and silver medalist Olympian.
She no longer runs competitively. Now she owns a nutrition store and spends hours on her feet.
'It's a lot of strain on your body. Anyone who works retail knows what I'm talking about,' she said.
She traded in her running shoes for a new kind of pain relief footwear called Z-coils.
'Believe me, when I first saw the shoes I said 'Oh my goodness, I'm not going to wear those ugly shoes.' But the minute you put them on they become very pretty to you.'"
