Members responded to a question about managing sore feet while working on their feet all day with RA, with the strongest recommendation being to see a podiatrist who can assess individual needs and create custom orthotics. Several members shared specific shoe brands that have helped them, including Skechers with memory foam inserts, Vionic sandals, and Clarks, with many emphasizing the importance of wider shoes, adjustable closures for swelling, and using Dr. Scholl's kiosk machines for affordable custom-fit inserts when professional orthotics are out of reach. A recurring theme was finding comfort through trial and error, using topical remedies like CBD or lavender oil for relief, and the reassurance that foot pain is a common and manageable RA symptom even when blood work appears normal.
