Does anyone find that a type of shoe helps your foot neuropathy?

I just ordered and received a pair of Ooofos shoes. They are hawked on TV by Alex Smith, former QG for the Redskins. He had 17 surgeries on his mangled ankle. I thought that if they helped him, why not me? Well, I wore them for a few hours yesterday and they were okay at first. Then my feet began to ache. So, I had to remove them. This morning I thought that maybe I'll try wearing them for an hour or so a day and work the time up. As soon as I out them on, my feet were screaming out in pain. Had to take them off and put my trusty, old Orthofeet on. Afraid that I will be returning these Oofos for a refund. Anyone else out there tried OOfos? If so, what was your experience?

Thanks, Chris Welch

OK, so I received my order of Oofos shoes. First, I am not a fan of slip-on shoes, which these were. I thought from the photo that they were lace up. After putting them on, I felt very unsteady. I wore them for a few hours. By that time my feet were killing me! I thought that maybe I should wear them for short periods of time, inceasing the time each day. The next morning I slipped them on. Immediately, as soon as I stood up, the burning pain returned to my feet. Removed them immediately. Requested a refund, boxed them up and sent them back.
Guess I'll stick with Orthofeet. They give me a fairly comfortable walk (with Dr. Scholl's inserts).

Planning on ordering another pair of Orthofeet. I'm sure that Oofos are great for many, just not for this old codger (76). At least they have a 30 day, no hassle return policy.
