Donald J Pliner
Lilie
Donald J. Pliner's Lilie is a classic women's dress shoe that is stylish and comfortable. What makes this shoe so comfortable is that the sole is thick, rigid and non-flexible, which is crucial for good foot health. There's a lot of bad information in the media about what makes a good shoe and the truth is that a shoe must have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole. A flimsy sole which allows motion through foot joints significantly speeds up the progression of arthritic joint changes, bunions, hammertoes and increases the risk of injury and stress fractures as well as knee, hip and lower back pain.
The four criteria that a shoe must have to be comfortable are:
1. Thick, rigid and non-flexible sole
2. Wide, soft toebox
3. Rearfoot control
4. Arch support
The Donald J. Pliner Lilie is recommended for people with:
*Mild Bunions
*Mild Hammertoes
*Mild Metatarsalgia
*Mild Functional Hallux Limitus (limited range of motion through the 1st toe joint while functioning)
*Mild Hallux Limitus (limited range of motion through the 1st toe joint)

*Mild Hypermobility (wear with orthotic if possible)
*Mild Morton's Neuroma
