Arthritis is not one disease, but over
100 known diseases that affect the bones, muscles and joints. The term
does not designate a specific disease, but means inflammation of a joint
resulting from any cause. Pain and swelling can ensue (particularly
obvious in the hands and feet), which creates limited movement and
mobility. Drew footwear plays an important part in maintaining an active
lifestyle and comfort level. Because the arthritic foot is
hypersensitive, swollen and painful joints need Drew's extra room and
soft leathers. Arthritic feet typically have disintegrated fatty pads
that need Drew's extra cushioning and shock absorbing insoles. Often,
orthotics are prescribed to position the foot to create less stress and
alleviate pain. Drew footwear has a variety of depths to accommodate
these special orthotics. If arthritis is present in the fingers and
hands, Drew footwear has Velcro® closures and a wide opening that can
ease the pain of putting on, and taking off, footwear.
