I am on my feet and do a lot of walking when I am at work. I'm trying to find a brand or type of shoe and orthotics that people have found to reduce or relieve hip, knee and ankle pain caused by RA. I am currently wearing Keds (brand) South Hampton (style) and using Profoot: Women's Fits All Triad Orthotics. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thanks a bunch!

That's a really great store called Walking on a Cloud that has all kinds of comfy and stylish shoes with great support - it's Canadian, but does ship to the US. Easy Spirit is American and also specializes in comfortable, stylish shoes that give your feet the kind of support they need - you can try the website, but the spread of shoes should also be available in department stores and shoe stores.

 

You can also try a store that specializes in wide sizes, as they are often more comfortable for people with RA in their feet -  these types of stores will likely carry many of the same shoes as Walking on a Cloud.
