At first glance, the Z-CoiL shoe often strikes some people as some kind of gimmick, but this unique line of pain relief footwear is steadily gaining favor with both foot care specialists and regular customers, who have benefited from the technology involved in making this footwear. The shoe on the cover is called Freedom 2000, and it is the flagship model from the Z-Coil Shoe Company of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The shoe is definitely not a gimmick, and when you put the shoe on, you know immediately that it isn't gimmick! The shoe was designed to reduce all the impact to the body as we walk or run, and it does a great job of doing just that. The spring is so strong, you will notice that the spring will return the energy you have put in the shoe as you walk. The full line of Z-CoiL products is designed with a rigid built in orthotic, which gives the shoe unmatched support across the middle part of the foot. In addition to the great support and unmatched cushioning of the spring, the shoes have a cushioned rocker bottom in the forefoot. This allows for the wearer to roll right off the front of the shoe. We encourage anyone that hasn't tried on a Z-CoiL shoe to at least slip on a pair and walk around the block. Any of our dealers will let you do that! You will be pleasantly surprised.

Ella Mae is used to wearing her cousin's hand-me-down shoes—but when her latest pair is already too tight, she's thrilled at the chance to get new shoes. But at the shoe store, Ella Mae and her mother have to wait until there are no white customers to serve first. She doesn't get to try anything on, either—her mother traces her feet onto a sheet of paper, and the salesman brings them a pair he thinks will fit. Disappointed by her treatment, Ella Mae and her cousin Charlotte hatch a plan to help others in their community find better-fitting shoes without humiliation. Eric Velasquez' realistic oil paintings bring life to this story of a young girl's determination in the face of injustice. The book includes an author's note from Susan Lynn Meyer, discussing the historical context of the story and how the Civil Rights Movement worked to abolish unfair laws like the ones Ella Mae encounters. A 2016 NAACP Image Award Nominee, and a Jane Addams Children's Book Award winner.

But all the kids are wearing them! Any child who has ever craved something out of reach will relate to this warm, refreshingly realistic story. Features an audio read-along. "I have dreams about those shoes. Black high-tops. Two white stripes." All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. But Jeremy’s grandma tells him they don’t have room for "want," just "need," and what Jeremy needs are new boots for winter. When Jeremy’s shoes fall apart at school, and the guidance counselor gives him a hand-me-down pair, the boy is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy comes to realize that the things he has -- warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend -- are worth more than the things he wants.
