Rheumatoid Arthritis Shoes

Rheumatoid Arthritis ShoesRheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that attacks the body’s joints. A high percentage of the people with Rheumatoid Arthritis eventually develop symptoms related to the foot or ankle. Usually, symptoms appear in the toes and forefeet first, then in the hindfeet or the back of the feet, and finally in the ankles.

People with Rheumatoid Arthritis can control their pain and the disease with medication and exercise. Your doctor may also prescribe special Rheumatoid Arthritis Shoes.

If your toes have begun to stiffen or curl, you should wear Rheumatoid Arthritis shoes with an extra deep toe box providing a roomy fit as pressure points in a shoe’s fit can be excruciating for already tender arthritic feet. You may also need to use a soft arch support with a rigid heel. An adjustable strap shoe may be preferred to a lace-up style. Another option is to fit a lace-up shoe with a no-tie lacing system. 

A shoe with a rocker bottom outsole can help reduce stress to the ball of the foot where pain and discomfort are often present. While some cushioning can be present, effective Rheumatoid Arthritis shoes should prioritize support over cushioning. Proper arch support and progressive shock absorption decrease foot joint strain, thus helping to prevent new damage and subsequent new inflammation. In more severe cases, you may need to use a molded ankle-foot orthotic device, canes, or crutches.
