Depends a lot of other factors
Hi! You can walk with arthritis in the ankle. I would recommend seeing a podiatrist for an evaluation.
Depends on what other treatment you already implemented, if walking is your only answer, then may not be good.

It depends on how severe the arthritis is. But arthritis is a problem that progressively worsens over time. The more you use the joint, the more damage will occur over time
Walking may exacerbate ankle pain in an arthritic ankle, therefore it’s important to utilize anti-inflammatory and support braces for pain relief and comfort. Limit walking to an “as tolerated” basis to avoid further irritation, atrophying of muscles, and loss of mobility of the joint.
Walking can help with arthritis. I recommend you schedule an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for diagnosis and treatment options.
