Off topic - Need new slippers for your RA ravaged feet?

There's up to 40% off the range of Vionic womens and mens slippers until 6th November.

I find them brilliant as they have built-in arch support, essential for many of us that wear orthotics. Also recommended by many who have plantar fasciitis. Their shoes are also excellent - I've several pairs!

My favourite style is the Gemma and I've just ordered my third pair! Each pair has lasted me nearly two years. They only come in a medium fitting but are generous and have adjustable velcro straps. I buy wide fit shoes in general but these slippers fit me just fine. The manufacturer says they are not washable but I just noticed on their website that several reviewers have washed them carefully and successfully.

Here's a link: vionicshoes.co.uk/women/sli...

Other brands are available of course ...

I’ve tried avionics ,but they are uncomfortable for me. I bought some expensive slippers from next.they are fine.I just dread them wearing out,because of the cost of replacing

I have RA and plantar and have just purchased my 4th pair of slippers from Vionic in the sale ready for when current ones wear out. Really wouldn’t like to be without them now. Also own several pairs of sandals from them … all purchased in their sale or through sites like Vinted 👍👍

Yes me too! I find the Vionic arch support foot bed really good if i can't wear my custom made orthotics - as in sandals and slippers.

I recently purchased some memory foam slippers by Skechers. On their website they were £50, but when I googled to compare prices elsewhere, I found them for £27 on a website called houseofslippers. Definitely recommend looking as they are competitive ly priced. Although they have big name brands they don’t do Vionics

love my Gemma slippers! I've got the cream & black pairs so I can wash one pair and still have others to wear.

I've just ordered the leopard version! I love the built-in arch support that is lacking in nearly all other slippers I've tried. I've never tried washing my previous pairs. Any advice welcome!

Hubby cleaned my cream ones. He just had water and washing liquid and used a nail brush. Then hung them out to dry. I've read that people put them in the washing machine but Ive not been brave enough for that

thank you for the link. I have a very painful foot at the moment and waiting for appointment with Physiotherapist and badly in need of good slippers. I wear the trainers and sandals from Vionic but didn’t know they had a sale. Managed to order a pair of the Gemma slippers. Thank you.
