Aww Chemar,
I've been suffering from similar complaints for some time now.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is not good. Are they giving you anything for the disease besides anti-inflammatories? Something for the disease process. I take Humira and methotrexate. It is important that you see a Rheumatologist.

As for shoes, I wear the Naot brand. Expensive but worth it. A pair lasts me forever. They have styles you can buy that let you replace the insole with arthotics. And they also have styles that have replaceable intersoles. My podiatrists says they are good shoes.

Good luck.
