I ware wide slip on sketchers. They have mesh on top because the top of my left foot swells and the mesh helps stretches to. Same for toes. But nothing helps 100%. Can't go barefooted either. I need some support to be able to even walk.

For bent toes (hammertoes) that cause blisters, look for shoes with these key features:

• Wide or extra-wide toe box to accommodate toe deformities
• Flexible, stretchy materials like leather, mesh, or neoprene that won't put pressure on raised toes
• Rocker soles that curve upward to reduce strain on toes
• Closed back Show Full Answer

For bent toes (hammertoes) that cause blisters, look for shoes with these key features:

• Wide or extra-wide toe box to accommodate toe deformities
• Flexible, stretchy materials like leather, mesh, or neoprene that won't put pressure on raised toes
• Rocker soles that curve upward to reduce strain on toes
• Closed back design to keep foot secure without toe gripping Some specific shoe recommendations from others with RA include:

• New Balance sneakers (known for generous toe boxes)
• Vionic Pace slip-ons with adjustable straps for swelling
• Clarks shoes in various styles
• ABEO and Dansko brands

Remember to have multiple pairs to alternate between to prevent overuse of specific pressure points.
