Re: Working Women with RA - Shoes : /

[Guest guest]

I haven't worn them, but Skecher's is making some cute shoes. The soles are

similar to sneakers, but the tops look like dressy flats. I've seen them @

Famous Footwear for around $50. -$60. They aren't heels, but they are cute.

They have several variations.

I agree with the Skecher's idea. They are the only sneakers I can wear, and

I just bought a pair of the flats they came out with. I got ones that don't

look like sneakers, are very nicely made, and also still have the support

Skecher's sneakers give me, but with cross straps. There are many styles and

colors. I am thrilled that they came out with these as I have only worn

Skecher's sneakers for years. Everything else hurts my knees and ankles and

feet.

I just bought 2 pairs of Merrells at Track and Trail. They've come out with a

dressier line that I can wear to work. They're terrific with ouchy feet.

Also, Merrell makes great leather casual shoes. My bad feet predate my

RA and I can't wear heels or " girl " shoes LOL. Some like Rockport but

they don't work for me. You got to try things on, everyone really fits

differently so different brands will work best for you. I absolutely

ADORE my MBTs but they are pricy.

HTH,

[Guest guest]

hi

my podiatrist recommends a number of sneakers as good for feet and

knees....New Balance, Asics, etc

He also recommends Easy Spirit...and they make both sneakers and

foot/knee friendly shoes

good luck going out in the real world---I have been thinking about it

.....and then talking myself out of it for *years* ! !

I actually do better in some heels than sneakers many times. I absolutely love

Dansko

shoes and boots. They are very pricey, but are well-made, and pretty. They have

nice thick

heels that support me very well. I can do a 2 inch heel in these, and walk.

I do alternate flat and heel shoes, just to avoid stiffness.

I am overweight and have amazingly bad balance. If I don't fall in them, no one

will.

They also do wide sizes, which helps if you are, say, size 9 duck ;-)

Also, I have a pair of Reiker boots- they are also very good, but the tops

(ankle) are snug

and stretchy- it took me a bit to get used to, but as my ankles are weak, now I

love them

as well.

Once you get a good sizing (I got my first danskos from an equestrian shop),

look at

www.zappos.com- shipping is free both ways, so you can try all the stuff you

want at

home, and not pay shipping on returns.

Congratulations on the new job!

as for shoes, I where boots, the work boots for men, they seem to support my

ankles much better. I also us gel inserts which really seem to make things much

better. I can't wear dress shoes so I find things that I can wear with them for

dressing for an interview and such. I have weak ankles and RA in the joints of

them. I get that crunch feeling in them all the time and they are constantly

popping.

Yeah I was considering going to SAS and seeing if they have anything

even close to stylish. I tried my bosses on (she in her 70's) and the

were really comfortable. Arn't most of them open toe though?

Maybe they have a website? Anyone know what SAS stands for?

Also thanks to everyone for your comments and THANKS to Sketchers....

that is all I wear is there little sneaker " esque " maryjanes. I love

them, But I need something a little more professional, unfortunately:(

Also anyone else notices their shoe size go up? Mine went up from a 8-

1/2 to now I am squeezing into a 10. Uggg!

s also came out with thei artisan collection that has nicer,

comfortable (i just bought a pair today), so that might be a good thing

to check out.

Hi,

My podiatrist has always recomended New Balance shoes. That's all I've

wore for years. I used to wear a 91/2 4E in the mens sizes, but have

recently went to a men's 11 4E because of a overlapping toe. I was

thinking about trying the Skecher's athletic shoes. Has anyone wore New

Balance and Skecher's? And what is your comparison of the two brands?

I went to The Shoe Dept. yesterday but they didn't carry many of the

Skecher's in the men's sizes. Thanks.

Lori, I'm with you. I have New Balance Sneakers too and I just about

live in them. I got the ones with the velcro closures so when my

feet are swollen it's easier to close them than to relace. I would

recommend them as well.
