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

I am still very active with dog sports and weigh 215. I like Hoka One One Version 6. They feel spongy at first but you quickly adapt. I’m on probably my 10th pair now and nothing else I have tried comes close.

I live in Merrell Jungle Mocs & Jungle Slides, mainly for the arch support. On Cloud 5 sneakers are very supportive and help with balance. The cushioning is great. Initially you feel like you are bouncing along, but you get used to it. On Cloud 5s have allowed me to walk farther and longer than any others.

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It seems everyone finds folks going through similar situations and from my experience, it can be encouraging to dis uss what works/what doesn’t.

I haven't had a chance to try any specialty ones but a couple years ago I googled "best Adidas for diabetic neuropathy" (yes, I'm an Adidas snob lol) and page after page came up with their Cloud Foam series, so without even seeing them in person (very small town, options are limited) I ordered a pair and I'll never look back. I just ordered another pair as a backup but it's been over two years with that original pair and they're still in great shape. I hope this helps, I know we're all physically different so even if this doesn't help best of luck finding something that does. Cheers

I find finding a shoe that provides stability real issue Any suggestions balance an issue

OrthoFeet shoes & sandals are great for me.

@daves2 That is the same problem I have. I do find Orthofeet shoes feel good on my feet but are a little too cushy and make me uncomfortable with balance. I like minimalist shoes or zero drop soles like Birchbury or Xero shoes because they are flat with almost no cushion and I can walk with a little more stability but then I have the problem that they don't feel as good. So I have some of each and switch back and forth depending on how my day is going.

Usually I look for shoes with memory foam insoles. Typically I get Sheckers brand but there are a few other brands. Then I look for shoes that are built and look more supportive. Plus I add an extra memory foam inserts into them. There are a few brands of insoles but typically I get Dr. Sholes inserts.

In Canada othofeetblots of problems ordering from Canada Expensive too

My same problem as well Too much cushion is an issue Zero drop requires a lot of getting used too And not comfortable on soles of feet
