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.

Check the "Cloud" shoe made in Switzerland. The nurses I know are switching from Hoka to Cloud especially if they are a little overweight

I was advised to go where the Cloud is sold and find a size that works for me and then order that size. I agree that Cloud sizes are different than others.

i am sorry to hear about your pain and suffering. I have this burning mouth problem too. I have to discontinue eating anything spicy, tomatoes, anything acidic. And stop drinking any soda. I have celiac disease and fibromyalgia. I found that gluten free diet has helped my overall health. And a big problem with my mouth burning all the time, was solved by stopping using any mint toothpaste or mouthwash. I have to use kid's Crest strawberry flavor toothpaste!
My dentist told me about discontinuing mint products She was right!!
I hope your problems ease up.

Another update: I realized that the Grand Attack removable insole has a textured, nylon/plastic? surface that my sensitive feet do not like. People with neuropathy might like this stimulation. I have arthritis, not neuropathy, and now that I replaced that with a cushy, thin, smooth insole, I am much happier with these Grand Attack shoes as my pool shoe.

Update on my Grand Attack shoes that I am using for pool exercising. (Note: I have arthritis and genetic bunions, not neuropathy). I love the toe spread and can wear these in the deep water for water exercising, but need more shoe under foot in the shallow end. At present, I switch to my Columbia water shoes that fit like a sneaker, but I have cut the fabric off the front so my toes can spread out. It's ugly, but these aren't wide enough for my toes anymore, and it's my own pool so I don't care about how they look, and the soles are good for the impact.
I still wear my Birkenstock Arizona soft footbed sandals the most. Alternate is Strive sandal. Strive (strivefootwear.com) is an orthopedic brand from the UK that is now also in the US. I got them at a Happy Feet + store. Very comfortable padding over good arch support, nice thin adjustable leather straps. I still love my HOKA Bondi 8 sneakers but when our summer temps increased, my feet starting swelling as I walked, and the problematic crowded toes on the right foot complained. So I am alternating walking in either the Birks or now the Strive
Many people here have mentioned Orthofeet shoes and sandals and I am considering them as they offer a 2E which my toes seem to need. Can anyone recommend a specific model? I am looking at the hands free sneakers, but also sandals. Great trial and return policy. Any suggestions?

I am a board-certified surgeon and I’m aware of all the scams that various medical related companies make. I started wearing barefoot shoes after many tries to relieve my nightly neuropathy. I wore barefoot shoes all day long for two days, especially before bedtime with no exaggeration. Neuropathy was gone in two days and has not recurred in over a month. I have no financial interest in barefoot shoes. I am simply a physician who has found a solution to an annoying untreatable symptom.
