Dansko Dani Carmel
***
A Great Sandal for Women with Narrow Feet...
This is a wonderful sandal for those of you that have narrow feet. I have been recommended Dansko shoes for years and the Dansko Clog is the shoe that helped me to survive the long hours on my feet during my residency.
What makes the Dansko brand great is the thick rigid sole that is protective of the foot.
If you are recovering from a recent foot injury and making the transition into normal shoegear -
this is a great sandal to help you ease into summer sandals. The forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot strapping helps create more biomechanical control for more comfort, less chance of injury and less mechanical strain.
This Sandal is Recommended for Patients with:
*Bunions
*Hammertoes
*Hallux Limitus/Rigidus (limited range of motion of the 1st toe joint)
*Osteoarthritis
*Rhuematoid Arthritis
*Metatarsalgia
*Capsulitis
*Morton's Neuroma
*Heel Pain (plantar Fasciitis)
*Tendonitis
*History of Lisfranc Joint (MTJ) Injuries
*Sesmoiditis
*Tailor's Bunions
This Sandal is NOT Recommended for Patients with:
*Diabetes
*Neuropathy (Nerve Damage)
*Peripheral Arterial Disease
*History of Foot Ulcerations
*Charcot Foot
*Foot Drop
**Please remember that you are the acid test for whether or not the shoe works for you. You should not have to "break in" shoes. If this shoe is not comfortable - it's not for you!
Hope this has been helpful!

Doctor, my mother has large (size 11), wide feet which tend to swell. She injured her foot quite badly with a lisfranc fracture and has a hard time trying to find shoes. She relies almost solely on crocs. I have searched your website and found 1-2 recommendations for lisfranc problems. Could you make a post about your recommendations for people who have had lisfranc fractures? I find so much more advice for heel pain than for top-of-the-foot pain.
Hi Mandee,
Thank you for taking the time to read the blog!
My next post with be focus on shoe recommendations for people who have had Lisfranc Injuries. I will try to have this posted today or tomorrow at the latest and I hope it will be helpful to you and your mom...

Dr McCarthy-do you have any suggestions for a tennis player-should I play tennis in the NB shoes you are recommending or do you recommend anything different for tennis players?

Hi Kim,
I'm sorry to say I don't have any specific recommendations for tennis shoes. I would recommend you go to a tennis pro shop and find the best fit and get the shoe that has a sole that is rigid, wide and has the least amount of motion and flexibility. It is important to get a tennis shoe to play tennis. They typically have more support on the outside and inside of the shoe to give your foot more stability when you cut from side to side.
Please let me know if you find a good shoe!
