What is a Rheumatic Foot?
A rheumatic foot is caused by an inflammatory condition such as rheumatism, arthritis, or lupus. A rheumatic foot can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness, resulting in limited mobility of the foot.
Our Shoe Recommendation
To alleviate symptoms, shoes with good cushioning and support are recommended to reduce pressure on the affected joints. Shoes should have a rolling sole, a low heel, and a generous, soft, padded toe area without pressing seam connections to reduce pressure on the toes and forefoot.
The use of stretch materials and cushioned footbeds is also helpful in reducing pressure points and pain.
Our GANTER SENSITIV shoes have been developed in collaboration with doctors and leading specialists specifically for the sensitive feet of individuals with rheumatic conditions.
