THE DANSKO KIKI...This is a wonderful casual dress shoe that works well for patients with a multitude of foot issues. It has a rigid sole for more biomechanical control of the foot as well as a cushioned insert with some decent arch support. The wide toebox, adjustable midfoot strapping and rearfoot control supplies excellent biomechanical control to decrease pain, decrease chances of injury and prevent progression of foot problems such as bunions, hammertoes and osteoarthritis (to name a few!). Remember: Less motion means less wear and tear on the foot and, best of all, less pain...

*Plantar Fasciitis/ Heel Pain
