Hi Karen, the only ones i buy are ASICS GEL trainers. These are the only ones that are comfy enough and have good room in them.
Regards

karen ya right there, that has happened to me too.... Id deffo try the ones Nicks talking about.... but in all honesty Karen, the fact U have feet probs, dont think there is anything out there that will give u the Painfree walking u want....BUT when your feet get into better shape, and no more pain as such, U will deffo see a difference in your trainers....does tht make sense? from time to time, my feet r like yours, at mo its attacking my thorasic soine, neck(wearing neck collar at no) and shoulders....but in the past my hands and feet were terrrible.....didnt matter what i worre, made no difference at all...... what needs to hppen is for your feet to get better, and then u will get relief, until then, its going to be difficult....MTX shld kick in soon for u....but remeember there is also the ANti TNF meds...biologics, saved my life they have, and I get lesss feet and hand pain.... doesnt take it all away, ive got the Inflam artha, so it travels everywhere and anywhere it wants..... still get pain, but id deffo be a cripple without my Biologics....ENBREL......ask about it...u may need it.....take care Jill x

Try 'Hotter' shoes and trainers. They also have walking shoes. They're on line.

Won't be painfree but can help. Also get referred to orthotist for in-soles. I find these help.

Good Luck
