I have tried lots of highly recommended brands and spent a lot of money. The best advice I can give is; go to a proper shoe shop! Walk around lots and lots in the shop. I found running trainers a life saver although clearly I'm not going to be running any time soon! I went to a proper running shop and spoke to an expert. Only issue is that they are not too waterproof.
It might be worth getting referred to an orthotist or podiatrist (if you already haven't) as decent insoles can be the difference between a nice stroll and a not so nice stroll!
I also need thick soles. At home, I wear fur lined crocs and they are wonderfully comfortable.
Thank you for your enquiry to Helplines. Shoes with a rocking motion don't suit everyone with arthritis, so we'd recommend you check with someone medically qualified before spending your hard earned cash.
The general information from AR UK on foot pain is worth looking at - here it is http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/arthritis-information/conditions/foot-pain.aspx
We are closed for team training the last Friday of the month - so that's why we are replying today.
Kind regards
