ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - s4story -- Z-CoiL Footwear, a family-owned company based in Albuquerque and known for its patented pain-relief shoes, will be featured on the season premiere of ABC's hit show Shark Tank on Wednesday, September 24, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

The pitch will be presented by Andres Gallegos, President & CEO of Z-Tech, Inc. (dba Z-CoiL), and his daughter, Lindley Gallegos Bach, General Manager — marking a rare father–daughter duo appearance in the Tank.

Z-CoiL was founded by Andres' father, Alvaro Z. Gallegos, who invented the first spring-loaded orthopedic shoe in 1991. Now 94 years old and still living in Albuquerque, Alvaro's vision was to create footwear that reduces impact and helps people live pain-free. His mission lives on in Z-CoiL, which has sold more than a million pairs worldwide and continues to change lives across the country.

For more than 30 years, Z-CoiL has been helping customers find relief from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, arthritis, sciatica, and chronic back pain. The brand's patented design features a visible conical coil in the heel that reduces impact by up to 50%, a built-in orthotic for stability, and a rocker-bottom sole that promotes a natural stride.

"Getting Z-CoiL to Shark Tank has been one of my greatest professional accomplishments," said Lindley Gallegos Bach, General Manager. "To do it alongside my dad — and while pregnant — has been incredibly special, especially in the wake of losing my mother. Z-CoiL is a great all-American family entrepreneur story, and I've always dreamed of taking it to Shark Tank."

With its upcoming national television appearance, Z-CoiL is seeking investment to expand awareness and bring its unique footwear technology to even more people in need. The company is currently offering a 14-Day Risk-Free Trial, free two-way shipping, and a 90-day workmanship warranty, making it easy for customers to experience the benefits of Z-CoiL shoes.
