Hello @mikem75, I think there are a lot of members with neuropathy caused by nerve compression or entrapment. I would think wearing shoes a half size too small would cause blisters or sores on your feet with pain more than numbness. What has helped me is buying shoes with wide toe boxes since I have hammertoes on both feet along with my neuropathy.

Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) may be something that will help with neuropathy caused by nerve entrapment or compression from what I've read. You might want to checkout this discussion started by @jenniferhunter to learn what others have shared:
