Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, in which the body’s immune system attacks itself. The joints of the ankles can be affected by RA. This can cause difficulty walking, standing, climbing, cause and severe pain.Other types of inflammatory arthritis such as gout, psoriatic arthritis and peripheral spondyloarthritis can also affect the ankle joint.
👠People living with RA should avoid wearing certain types of shoes. Shoes that are too tight may cause bunions and corns to form, leading to additional pain.
👡High heels are not advisable for people with RA. High heels put pressure on the ball of the foot, which may aggravate RA symptoms. Also, closed-toe high heels force toes into the tip of the shoe, which can cause pain, corns, hammertoe and other deformities.
