Hi Lesley I work on my feet all day also. Usually I get pains in my left foot esp when I put pressure on it. I bought memory foam sketchers. Found great relief.

Hi Lesley.

I agree with Hot Picks.... Crocs have to be the most comfortable shoes under the sun, the orignal sort I mean... or the more 'feminine' version of the original sort, which isn't much more feminine but looks a tad less clunky.

Apart from being lightweight and moulded to your foot's shape, they have these holes near the sole which keeps the soles of the feet cool, which I love.

Gosh, I sound like an ad!

I also have a pair of Echos which are very comfortable, though I don't have to stand all day.

I have had serious foot problems, though not directly related to RA, and I had some special insoles made that mould to my arch, as support. Can't do without them now!

Hi Lesley I get problems with my feet due to ra too. The balls of my feet, above my toes and tendinitis on my achilles heel. I wear like surgeons clogs at work and have orthotic made insoles for all my other shoes. Sketchers are a godsend. We could all be walking adverts for Sketchers lol.

I got insoles for my sketchers aswell i think am on my feet 12 hrs as I work with elderly as a carer and that's hard going on my joints aswell it just really gets u dwn sometimes.

It is hard at times. On bad days with the stiffness, pain and fatigue I could happily pack my job in! I'm not giving in yet tho I like working and I need to work. Rest when you can and sleep when you need to that's my motto.

12

Am not giving my job up either I will keep going for as long as I can I do rest when am not working and catch up on my sleep as I say it is hard at times but hey u just get on with it thanks for chatting with me x

13
