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

Posted by lorirenee1 @lorirenee1, Mar 25, 2019

I am on a constant quest for shoes that don't kill my feet due to the neuropathy. I find that Spencos and Wolky shoes seem the best. Are there any other suggestions? Shoes can be just crippling for me. Horrid.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

I can’t find a shoe that helps at all, I have paid 300. Or 29.95….
I just want to find a doctor, in northern indiana…or close by…that listen to you…and does testing to rule up other issue that can cause the pain and tingling and now stiffness…doctors has a tendency to say…oh, you have neuropathy.. live with it…I know that not all my pain tingling etc..is just neuropathy…

I find that Alegria shoes are beneficial for me.

I haven’t tried them. Sale today, just bought 2 more pair of Hey Dudes. One stretch, one Sox feeling. Only $78 for both.

I have both severe hammer toes and severe peripheral neuropathy. I tried a few shoes spending a lot of before finding one on Amazon called Ortho Feet. They were $110, but they are well worth it. I got the 4E wide and they are deep and don’t squeeze the toes. I know they’re pricey, but if you get them and don’t work for you, if you’re familiar with Amazon you already know that they have a great return policy with no cost to return them.

I also have a problem trying to find comfy shoes for my feet.
I am totally numb in both feet and I have purchased several pairs of Ortho Feet shoes.
They are fine when I first put them on, but then after several hours, my feet will start to hurt when I walk.
I then have to put salon pas pain patches on them to walk, or CBC ointment.
