Features and Benefits of Arthritis Shoes for Women
Arthritis causes pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints—and that can include the joints in your toes and feet. Shoes with proper support and ample cushion can help protect those aching joints from the pressure of walking on hard surfaces like concrete, reducing pain.
In addition to swelling in your toes, arthritis can increase your risk of developing bunions or hammertoes. The best women’s shoes for arthritis in feet feature a wide toe box, which can offer relief to painful joints and help reduce your risk for both. Show Less

Understanding “FIT” notes:
ALL KURU shoes are sold in US sizing. IF the “FIT” note says “1/2 size small”, you should purchase a 1/2 size larger than your normal size (e.g if wear an 8, purchase an 8.5). If the note says “1/2 size big," then purchase a 1/2 size smaller than your normal size.
Common Causes of Arthritis in Women
Arthritis is more common in women than in men, and there is often a genetic component. That means if other people in your family have arthritis, your risk is increased. There are many kinds of arthritis, but they generally involve an issue that causes your immune system to attack the tissues in your joints. This leads to redness, stiffness, swelling and pain.
Effective Ways To Reduce Arthritis Pain
Treating the symptoms of arthritis involves reducing pain and swelling, and improving joint function. Medications like NSAIDs can help reduce swelling and pain. When arthritis attacks and your joints hurt, walking on hard surfaces like concrete only makes the pain worse. Wearing good shoes can protect the joints in your toes and feet, and also reduce stress and impact on other joints in your knees and hips.
Comfortable, supportive shoes like KURUs can help protect your body, relieving pain and making it easier to stay on top of exercise and physical therapy routines designed to improve your joint function.
