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

I have typical neuropathy at first - the numbness and tingles but after about ten to fifteen minutes of standing on my feet this gives way to a sensation of standing on broken china or broken glass. It is extremely painful and doesn't go away unless I elevate my toes and balls of my feet off the floor. I can walk if I walk on my heels, but this isn't terribly easy to do and might look a bit off! Is there a shoe, sock or aid of some sort that might help this? Has anyone had experience with this type of neuropathy?

Yes I can relate what it feels like to try and walk when your feet hurt so bad,it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing on them either.
This happens to me everyday by dinner time.
What I find that helps me is Ibuprofen and Salonpas pain patches directly on areas of my feet that are hurting.

I had an extremely painful problem years ago to where I could hardly walk. It was like nerves rubbing inside the pad of my foot right where the toes meet that pad. I was in Gatlinburg on vacation, couldn’t walk and was desperate so I bought a pair of these white plastic arch supports that goes from the arch to the back of the heel. I know most of these things are gimmicks but these “unloaded”
That front pad/ball of the foot area and allowed me to walk and I used them for quite some time and the issue went away. They let the arch and heel carry the load and that was what was needed in my case.
