Puyallup Fair: Interview
Audio Interview: My name is Annie H. and I had major back surgery in November of last year. I have rods in my back and have been experiencing a great deal of pain on medicine and can’t find correct footwear. Within 10 minutes after wearing your shoes, I’m not in any more pain.
Jolmsted: So, you showed up here at the (Your2Feet) Puyallup Fair booth. We put your whole family in the shoes and you walked around the hall.
Annie: Right. I was in pain before I came to your booth and I was on my way home to take medicine because… (Photo: Annie's daughter.)

Puyallup Fair: Interview and Photos
Audio Interview: My name is Loraine and I was convinced to get Z-CoiLs based my co-workers’ experiences. I work at the Post Office. And they helped the gals…
When the recording ended, Laraine, who didn't want her picture taken, stated she cried when the Post Office sent out a memo banning Z-CoiLs because of a work related accident. She continues to wear Z-CoiLs to work and keeps a letter from her Podiatrist prescribing the pain relief footwear, just in case a manager decides to make it an issue. She also said a mid level supervisor wears her Z-CoiLs on the job, too.
He works on his feet all day.

Puyallup Fair: i-Step Press Release
YOUR 2 FEET ANNOUNCES SEATTLE DEBUT OF iSTEP® FOOT SCANNING SYSTEM
Seattle, (September 22, 2004) – Your 2 Feet, Seattle’s one stop shop for pain relief, has taken a big step toward providing customers with the ultimate in foot comfort by debuting the revolutionary iStep digital foot scanning system at the Puyallup Fair September. 10-26.
The iStep is a pressure analysis and orthotic diagnostic tool that provides “blueprints of your feet” and is easy for any customer to use. The simple computer system enables customers to run a 30-second gait analysis by standing and walking on a computerized pad, and receive an individualized blueprint of their feet’s pressure points with a recommendation for the correct orthotic. The interactive touch screen kiosk also measures foot length and width, and makes footwear recommendations that customers can get a personalized printout to take home.
"Our customers can now learn whether they have a high, medium or low arch and if there are pressure points on their feet while standing or walking that might be causing calluses, blisters or other pain. They’ll also discover which orthotics will help them feel completely comfortable during any activity," Dr. Lotchie Kerch, Podiatric physician, foot surgeon and owner of Your 2 Feet, says.
"We are always exploring options that will improve our ability to serve our customers. The iStep has been a great innovation in the foot health industry, and allows us to provide educational information as well as an easy way to choose exactly the right products to help treat or prevent foot pain," she says.
The iStep consists of a baropedometer containing 1024 barosensitive sensors and performs a complete mapping of the plantar pressure generated from a customer's feet. Scientific studies have shown that there is a direct cause and effect relationship between unbalanced pressure distribution during the gait cycle and lower extremity pain in areas such as the knee, ankle or foot.
After the fair, the iStep will be installed permanently at the Your2Feet Pine Street retail store 1201 Pine Street, Seattle. More Information.

There was a Beatle group playing on the Coca Cola stage, filling the Crafts and More hall with tunes and she wondered by, put on a pair of Z-CoiLs and we danced a two-step in the concrete isle.

Press Release: Revolutionary Pain-Relief Resource Debuts at the Puyallup Fair
Washington Podiatrist/Surgeon Bringing Z-CoiLs to Thousands of Pain Sufferers
(Puyallup, WA)— Washington residents now have a new way of walking, with people talking about a revolutionary pain-relief resource. Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear™, specifically engineered to relieve foot, leg and back pain, is often called wacky, ugly or weird, but for those who suffer, pain is always uglier. Dr. Lotchie Kerch, a podiatric physician and foot surgeon for over twenty-years, has been providing Z-CoiL pain relief footwear in the Seattle area for several years and is temporarily expanding to bring this noteworthy resource to the Puyallup Fair, located in the Crafts and More Hall (Photo: Booth #952) through September 26.
Pain sufferers across western Washington are touting the benefits of Z-CoiL footwear, and Dr. Kerch has been working hard to introduce this remarkable pain-relieving resource. The footwear is becoming invaluable to people in careers that require extensive hours spent walking or standing and also to people who suffer from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, arthritis or bone-on-bone knee issues.
Z-CoiL Footwear features a unique conical-coil steel spring under the heel, which absorbs up to 50 percent of the impact from walking or running, according to studies by Los Alamos National Laboratories and the U.S. Department of Energy. A rigid, built-in orthotic cradles the mid-foot, equalizing pressure distribution to reduce the occurrence of heel spurs or plantar fasciitis, while extra cushioning at the forefoot and a permanent flex line at the ball of the foot improve comfort in the metatarsal area. This total foot support means less impact to the body, and less impact means less pain.
Al Gallegos, a 73-year-old maverick and Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear inventor and company founder, persevered for years to develop this revolutionary line of footwear. These “funny-looking shoes with the spring in the heel” have dramatically changed the lives of thousands of people who report either complete relief or a significant reduction in pain when wearing Z-CoiL footwear.
“The Puyallup Fair is an excellent opportunity to introduce Z-CoiLs to more people throughout the area,” Dr. Kerch says. “We are seeing hundreds of lives changed with Z-CoiL footwear and we want to be able to help so many more.”
Dr. Kerch operates two Z-CoiL footwear locations in Seattle. Dr. Z-CoiL is located at 1764 NW 56th St. and Your 2 Feet is at 1201 Pine St. To learn more about Z-CoiL footwear visit Dr. Kerch’s Web site at http://www.your2feet.com/, call (206) 838-7338 or stop by the Z-CoiL booth at the Puyallup Fair exhibition hall through September 26.
A small company on a mission, Z-CoiL Footwear is gaining a tremendous and loyal following as word of its pain relief benefits is spreading, with 200 authorized dealers nationwide. For more information on the Z-CoiL Footwear company based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, or to find other store locations in Washington, call (800) 268-6239 or visit the corporate Web site at www.zcoil.com.
