Guest guest Posted May 18, 2000 Report Share Posted May 18, 2000 , I don't know if you can find Teva sandals where you live or not but they really help me. I wear the kind that have a heavy rubber-tire like bottom and a strap over the mid foot and a strap over the arch. Both straps are adjustable with Velcro. I find that sometimes this is the only shoe I can wear comfortably, and even wear them in the cooler weather with socks. Sometimes I have to loosen the straps quite a bit, and having that ability to adjust them really helps. Good luck. Olivanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hello Wore my sandals this morning to go to the store. (OUCH). I guess I won't be cool and comfortable this summer. Now my feet and ankles are yelling at me! Does anyone else here have this problem? If so what do you wear for the most pain free comfort? Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I bought the new Sketcher Calie Gear Jane's that have a little velcro strap for spring and summer. They came in black, bronze, or white. They are so comfortable I am going to get them in the other colors now. I also hear the sandals Crocs make are very comfortable. They have a cute Adara style out this summer but since they are slip ons without straps, I'm not sure they are good for us with chronic pain and RA issues. Some doctors say that flip flops are really bad because the feet have to grip on to the shoe when walking and cause more feet issues. flooringpro1 <flooringpro1@...> wrote: Hello Wore my sandals this morning to go to the store.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 , My doctor recommended New Balance and Saucony - Trigon3, (this is light weight & is a running shoe, ha ha, even though we don't run) but to ware them with orthotics. I've had different orthotics and the one I got in 2002 (custom made and prescribed by an orthopaedic surgeon) is the best still. It is soft, supports my arch and makes my feet feel good. The podiatrist is totally against this type saying that it is adding to my problems, but this is the only one I can wear to walk any distance, shopping, and recently even in the house to keep my energy. Somehow without the orthotics my feet , ankels, and leggs get very tired and drain the energy out of the rest of my body very fast, leaving me very fatigued. With it I can go longer. Go figure..

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I also got my orthodics from the Orthopedic surgeon. My orthodics actually have metal plates on the bottom of them to prevent the bending of my toe joints. This is suppose to help me get a few more years out of them before I need to have another surgery (thanks RA). They really are comforatble. > > > > > > Hello > > > > > > Wore my sandals this morning to go to the store. (OUCH). I guess > I > > > won't be cool and comfortable this summer.
