Hi Ray,

Which house and outside shoes do you have for PN - numb/tingling feet ? I already purchased several house and outside shoes but with no real comfort and relief.

Of course, you have read my stories about diabetes and PN. PN is a uncurable symtoms so for years I have bought many body and feet massagers to bring little relieve with PN.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Hi, @michhino

I've been riding the footwear carousel for decades, from years before my body showed the first signs of PN. In the '70s, when Shorter won the Olympic marathon and kicked off the running boom, every runner I knew, from the world-class to the occasional jogger, asked, "What's the best shoe?" Even then, the answer was, There's no one answer. For each of us, it's a matter of trial & error. Today, a half-century later, as a guy with PN, it's still a matter of trial & error. (And with the price of shoes these days, trial & error can be costly.) Until I had to give up running, my favorite outdoor shoes were Brooks. Now, with my PN, I wear (outdoor & indoor) Nunn Bush shoes (from Zappo's). Nunn Bush are not very gung-ho looking, but at least they're semi-comfortable. They semi-work for me, but they might not work for you or anyone else with PN; such is the madness of going round & round on the footwear carousel. 🙂

Good luck in finding your PERFECT pair!
Ray

Neuropathy’s made my go-to Keen hiking boots uncomfortable. So I am wearing fuzz-lined Crocs in the house, Orthofeet around town, and Topo for walking/hiking. Seems to be a winning combo.
