New to this RA thing. Wanted to share that I got a pair of sketchers "go walks" for christmas and they feel amazingly better to walk in than my other shoes. they can pass for business casual too, but feel like bed slippers. My feet feel warm and hurt less with them on.

Congrats on finding shoes that work for you.
At work we have to wear khakis as part of our uniform. Luckily the boss is not too particular about the shoes.
I found that sketchers tennis shoes work well for me.
I will have to try the air walks.
Thanks,
Kim

I've been wearing Go Walks for three years now. Have several pairs and love them all. After about a year, they may start to hurt the soles of your feet because you have "squished" the bottom permanently and need a new pair.

I got a pair of Muk Luk boots that are comfortable and stylish but also functional. They have a rubber sole. Not as amazing as the go walks but they work well for lots of occasions.
