In addition to the running shoes I highly recommend SAS shoes. I have 5 pairs of their Duo sandal. Not cheap, but well made and really comfortable.

Yes I bought a pair of brooks and it has definitely helped. I can no longer walk barefoot due to the pain.

thank you. I see my RA in a couple of weeks. I will bring it up to him and see if he can offer a good solution. I saw other posts lower down about similar issues, and one suggested compression socks. I will try those as well.

I had my appointment with my RA last week. I told him about my foot pain. He did some xrays. Results - I have arthritis in my big toe on my left foot. that toe has bothered me for a few years now, on and off. I had originally tested for gout and diabetes, which were both thankfully negative....

I think wearing the sandals and the orthopedic sneakers in a double wide width really helped with the foot pain. I don't feel it as much as I was.

DesertRose,

I ordered the Nudu sandals in white and navy. they were a little spendy, but in my opinion, worth every cent. they are so comfortable, and cute too.
