Top 5 shoe types for arthritis sufferers

One in five people will suffer from arthritis, which can result in inflammation around the joints of your feet that may cause swelling, stiffness and pain. 

We have compiled a list of some of our most comfortable shoes that may reduce pain and increase mobility for people with arthritis.

1. Walking sneakers

If you have arthritis, it’s important to choose the right type of shoe to avoid further joint pain. Walking sneakers are a great option because they provide cushioning and support while also being lightweight. Look for shoes with features like shock-absorption and arch support to help reduce impact on your joints.

2. Loafers

Loafers are a slip-on style of shoe that can be a good option for those with arthritis. They provide good support and can be easy to get on and off. Look for shoes with a soft upper and cushioned sole to help reduce joint pain.

3. Sandals

Sandals can be a good choice for arthritis sufferers because they allow for good ventilation and don’t put too much pressure on the joints. If you choose sandals, look for ones with adjustable straps to provide a snug, comfortable fit. Avoid sandals with high heels or pointy toes as they can aggravate joint pain.

4. Slides

Slides are the perfect easy go-to shoe designed to improve posture, have a rigid rear part and wide soles for balance, and have a shock absorbing sole perfect for reducing pain from the impact of heavy ground impact. Our slides are adjustable and have a great grip, making them a perfect go to style for the warmer months.

5. Slippers

Supporting your feet around the home is just as important. Our slippers are another comfortable option for people with arthritis. They’re typically soft and lightweight, which helps reduce joint pain. Look for slippers with good arch support and cushioning.

When it comes to finding shoes for arthritis, it can be tough to know where to begin, but we hope our list of styles has given you a good place to start your search for a more comfortable pair of shoes.
