I get mine from fashion world. They have shoes and boots that are wide fitting, fashionable and have flexible soles. I need triple e fit so I can wear my insoles in them and I also have bunions.

New Look do wide fitting. I managed to find two comfy pairs from them. Shoes are a big problem for us all it seems. I find Sketchers Trainers comfortable. It is all trial and error. Happy shopping.

try 'hotter' shoes. Not all beautiful - but ridiculously comfortable - recommended by by RA nurse

I wear trainers most days and if going out somewhere special I have to wear shoes or sandals (weather permitting) that are cushioned inside. It is another one of the things that I hate about having this disease as I always liked nice shoes with a heel.

Great topic - thanks for asking! I have to wear orthotic insoles and the therapist said that I should always wear them and should wear 'shoes' that have a lot of give in the soles...in other words, trainers. I started off wearing Asics, but they're not cheap, so now I wear their cheaper equivalent of Brookes Adrenaline. My main issue is that I never feel nice or feminine. I very rarely wear actual shoes and in the past 18 months, I worn heels twice, just for an evening. I wish there was some way I could be comfortable and feel like a girl again LOL!

This is very true, life without heels is rubbish. The worst thing is that dresses are in fashion now and don't look good with the shoes we are resigned too. I don't even look at beautiful shoes anymore. It is too upsetting! I know some people are not as fortunate as us even, but....oh wouldn't it be nice...if only.

Anyone who could make nice shoes to suit people with arthritis would make a fortune I think. There's a factory shop near me that specialises in wide fitting shoes. There're great if you're eighty or over. Myself, I want shoes that are comfortable and fashionable. Not too much to ask is it.

Try New Balance. I needed foot wear so that I could walk to work (no buses and train station over 45 mins away). I found that walking in hiking boots, regular trainers or boots put too much strain on my feet and hip. I went online and bought a pair of NB and I walk over 2 hours every day in comfort!
