Ministryofdad Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hey guys Size 11. Just currently recovering from a dose of whatever was going about. Whatever it was gave me a massive flair up of inflammation / gout in my feet. This resulting in having constant pain in both my feet whenever I am out and about including working or standing for a long time. Just wondering if anyone else has similar issues and what they can recommend re footwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if anyone else has similar issues and what they can recommend re footwear. I occasionally get bouts of arthritic pain in one of my feet, and gout has been ruled out as a cause. I'm always more comfortable in whatever trainers I have to hand, and the brand doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference. But I recently went to my GP who prescribed me Diclofenac gel, which has eased my soreness a fair bit. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On allopurinol daily until I die to control uric acid levels. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It's knowing what triggeres it. Would love to say its fun finding out but it's the complete opposite 😭😭😭 Sketchers look like the best option I've seen so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Striker Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Mrs S used to have regular soreness in her feet. Its improved ever since a specialist recommended a better type of shoe to improve her gait. Basically, anything that didn't have a right-angled flat heal, but had a slight upward-pointing toe - to accentuate the correct "roll" your foot should do when walking - heel first, then rolling until your toes touch down just as your heel is rising A shoe like this - SKetchers are expensive, but anything with that profile performs the same function. SHe got a pair of leather shoes from Wider Fit Shoes online and finds them a big improvement. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

periodictabledancer Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I have swollen feet/ankles often due to medication. As my feet are on the wide side anyway brands like adidas are a no-no. I've been wearing Skechers for few few years as they have a wide-ish fit and are very light/soft/comfortable. A bonus being they make shoes that don't look like trainers.

Canscot Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Count me in the Skechers gang. Been wearing them for a number of years now due to neuroma’s on the nerves on the soles of my feet. They come in standard, wide or extra wide sizes. I just bought a new pair of their “Slip-in” style today actually. I also have a pair I wear only indoors as we have hardwood and tile throughout the house. A godsend on hard floors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pain is located in my feet if that makes sence. Right in the middle of both of them. Only thing that stops the constant pain is a cocktail of colchicine and Co codamol. Got doctors again on Monday so hopefully they can send me somwhere to fix it. Woke up this morning and I literally couldn't stand or walk until the drugs kicked in and took away the pain. Doctor said I was walking like an 80 year old man. I'm 41 wtf. And now, the end is near....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a pair of them a couple of months back. Buying them made me think I'm getting into old man's territory, with not having to bend down to put them on and not having to tie them...but they're brilliant and very comfortable. They do enough styles as well so can get one that looks pretty smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided many years ago I rate comfort WAY ahead of a fashion statement. As you say. Styles have vastly improved over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the width for shoes is the important thing as well as the cushion on the soles too ..flat shoes are a no no really .

No difference in size they're just shaped the way my feet should be.

Kebabs/ greasey foods All in moderation Whilst I would always recommend a healthy lifestyle for many other reasons, I ain’t convinced it is the main trigger of gout. I was at my most athletic and healthy living when I first got my first bout of the gout. I genuinely thought I had broken my foot during a workout without know and didn’t bother getting it diagnosed. Second time was about 3 months later..same area. Anyways Hyper uric acid leaves was diagnosed and on 300mg of allo probably for the rest of my life. Have had niggles and the odd flare up since but nothing like the first time. Good luck mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
