Brief summary
This study is a randomized controlled trial in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with feet pain, which aims to determine the effectiveness of the rheumatoid arthritis custom made insoles. It is hoped that information gathered from this project will help to contribute to the body of knowledge to an optimal podiatry treatment rheumatoid arthritis patients
Interventions
Investigator M (podiatrist) will manufactured a pair of customized foot orthoses per participant asigned to the experimental group. A weight-bearing phenolic foam cast will be obtained previously from these participants. Foot orthoses will consist of 2 mm-thick polypropylene from heel to inmediately proximal to the metatarsal heads, a 5 mm-thick, 35-40 shore A, ethylene-vinyl superior sheet, personalized subdigital crest and rearfoot posting. Participants in experimental group will be encouraged

Participants in experimental group will be encouraged to wear these foot orthoses during 3 months, at least 8 hours a day, in a physiologic shoe (wide tip shoe and less than 4 cm heel).
