Re: Question for the ladies..

[Guest guest]

Hi ...I loved wearing heels...those days are over for me. I

think I stopped back in 1990...I was dxd with r/a in 1983. My feet are too

sore in heels. I now wear New Balance tennies or Cobbie Cuddlers or Propet

tennies. Heels are just too painful to wear...its not that I was scared but

its hard just putting them on.

Hugs..paula

No heels, nothing but my Reebok running shoes.  Too much pain to get heels on

and too much pain to try to walk in them.  They are part of my other life

before RA.\

I agree with the other comments.  It's hard to wear heels for any amount of

time.  I have had luck with shoes with square or rounded toes and a good, thick

heel.  Thin heels are murder.  I also find the reviews on www.zappos.com to be

helpful as often people will note if a given shoe helped or aggravated their

foot pain.  Don't forget wedges which can give you the look of a heel, but

distribute the weight of your body better.  I bet you could find some cute wedge

heel boots on zappos.

Best, Kate F

I haven't worn high heels in years, even before the RA struck. They

are just not sensible or comfortable, and I can't walk in them. I'm

sure they're not good for your feet.

But if you can wear them and still walk and be comfortable in them,

more power to you.

I've found that the Foot Smart catalog and website have some great solutions for

comfortable shoes. They specialize in footware for people with foot problems.

I can wear wedge heels, but not skinny. and that's if i'm having a very very

GOOD day. and they can't be very high wedges. and they come off and go under the

table as soon as i get from point a to point b. I used to wear spike heels all

the time in my younger days, and i miss them. sigh.

I have not been able to wear my heels since 2006. I love shoes and I had to

give them all away. Now I wear comfortable shoes and tennis shoes. I

cannot wear flats because the hurt just as bad as the heels. Try looking at

a shoe brand that is called soft spots they have very comfortable shoes that

do not look bad. Vivian

I think that Soft Spots are really comfortable, too. I do have some

that look like old lady shoes, but that's okay since I'm an old lady,

LOL. I actually don't like to wear tennis shoes, running shoes, and

the like. They feel too heavy and are not comfortable to me. I have

some really comfortable Easy Spirit lace-up shoes, and they look good.

A few weeks back I bought some propet brand walking shoes that are extremely

comfortable.  They are styled like Janes  and are black so they look good

with slacks but have the comfort and support of a walking shoe.  I have worn

them for short hikes and shopping and found them extremely comfortable. 

Tonight I wore them to a dinner with a dressy pant suit and they looked good

too.  I have a wide foot and they come in wide widths which can sometimes be

hard to find.  I do not find tennis shoes comfortable (I have bought several

different name brands) as my feet burn and sting when wearing them.  Also

bought a pair of white propet slip on walking shoes and have not had the burning

problem with them and find them very comfortable.  Last time I did heels was

about 18 months ago for my daughters wedding and then they were very low heels

and I said not again-feet hurt for days afterward. linda

I haven't been able to wear heels since the day I was slammed with this. I tried

a small wedge once but that was a huge mistake. Nothing but flats and tennis

shoes for me.
