Comfortable Women's Dress Shoe at Shoe Mill in Tempe...

TSUBO...

Found at The Shoe Mill in Tempe, Arizona.

I own this shoe and it's one of my favorite and most comfortable dress shoes! I can wear this shoe all day long at work...

This shoe has a thick, rigid sole for protection of the foot, a wide and semi-soft toebox to prevent hammertoes, bunions and ingrown toenails, and decent midfoot and rearfoot strapping for more biomechanical control. Although it will not be able to accommodate a custom-molded dress orthotic - if you need more arch control you can use an over-the-counter "stick on" arch support sold in many stores. I wore mine without arch control and they were uber-comfortable!

This is an acceptable dress shoe for patients with:

*Mild bunions

*Mild Hammertoes

*Mild Achilles Tendonitis

*Mild Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Pain

This shoe is NOT recommended for patients with:

*Hallux Limitus/Rigidus (limited range of motion of the first toe joint)

*Osteoarthritis or Degenerative Joint Disease of the first toe joint

*Moderate to Severe Bunion or Hammertoes

*Moderate to Severe Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Pain

*Moderate to Severe Osteoarthritis in the foot or ankle

*Diabetic Patients

*Neuropathic Patients (Nerve Damage)

*Charcot Patients

*Moderate to Severe Tendonitis

*Moderate to Severe Hypermobility

Cost: $120

Have a Great Day!

Comfortable Women's Shoes - The WOLKY CLOG at SHOE MILL in Tempe Arizona...

My husband and I did a "Light Rail Adventure" this past Saturday and took the new and beautiful Light Rail from Central Phoenix down to Tempe where we had a fabulous lunch at Cafe Boa after which I promptly dragged him into a shoe store that my patients have been raving about for quite some time...

SHOE MILL

in Tempe, Arizona...

What a great store! I was really impressed by their wide selection of comfortable shoes and - let's just say it - pretty shoes! From the awesome shoes to the charming, lovely (and knowledgable!) staff, I highly recommend my patients put in the travel time and check this place out.

Although the store had hundreds of wonderful shoes, I focused on four and the first of those four I will review today and the next three will follow shortly...

THE WOLKY CLOGGY

As all of my patients know, I am a huge fan of the Wolky shoe line and my favorite sandal of all time is the Wolky "Tulip" (which the Shoe Mill also has) but since not everyone lives in sunny Arizona - this is a great enclosed shoe for when the weather gets cooler. This shoe has a supportive sole with decent arch support, a wide toe box and good midfoot and rearfoot control.

This shoe is recommended for patients with:

*Mild to Moderate hammertoes

*Mild bunions (Moderate Bunions - the leather may need some stretching?)

*Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Pain

*Mild to moderate osteoarthritis and dejenerative joint disease

*Hallus Limitus/Hallus Rigidus (Limited Range of motion or arthritis at the 1st toe joint)

*Mild (possibly a moderate) Morton's Neuroma

*Plantar plate injury in the forefoot

*Mild to moderate Tailor's Bunion (the leather may need some stretching?)

*Mild to Moderate Achilles Tendonitis

*Mild to Moderate Tendonitis

*Mild to Moderate hypermobility/ankle instability

*Mild swelling

This may not be recommended for patients with:

*Moderate to Severe swelling

*Charcot Foot

*Severe Degenerative Joint Disease

*Severe Bunions & Hammertoes
