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

I’ve been wearing Altra running shoes for many years now. I Had never seen a shoe like them as they had a unique toebox. I actually bought two pairs as you couldn’t get them in Canada at the time. I went from walking in severe pain to being able to walk pain-free. At the time I did not have peripheral neuropathy, but painful, bunions and hammer toe. Last week I bought a pair of Hoka running shoes based on recommendations that I read on various Facebook groups. The advantage of the Hoka is that you can get it in a wide width. I’m very comfortable in them. The only thing about any running shoe I wear is that my feet get hot and start burning. So I’ll probably be happier in them in the cooler weather. (It’s abysmally hot And humid here right now). I love my Wolky Sandals and my Cambrian sandals, both which fit my orthotics. Orthotics have also been Game changer for me and I would encourage you to consider a pair. Best of luck.

I have lymphedema in my lower body due to treatment for metastatic cancer back in 2002. I have neuropathy in my legs also and just discovered the Hoka brand. I have the Clifton 9 which I see you have on and also the Bondi 8 which has the widest toe. Both are comfortable but the Bondi 8 has the widest toe. I'm researching other brands that are as good but less expensive and more durable. A friend recently got shoes with a wide toe ... here's the link https://www.orthofeet.com/products/dakota-blue . I got these socks. They really helped too I think. https://www.orthofeet.com/products/mid-calf-compression-socks-black . I want to try them to replace one of my Hoka shoes. I began occupational therapy last week and she gave me some good tips that should help both lymphedema and neuropath like water exercises. I will check out the Altar shoe also. Thanks for mentioning that. My best wishes to you in your struggles.

If there is anybody out there who knows of shoes that are slip -ons, that do not require shoe laces, for women that come in a women's size 13 or European size 45, I'd love to have you share that info with me. I can wear a medium width or a narrow, but nothing wider. I do not need extra toe room. And orthotic compatible. (Gone are the days of being able to wear any shoe that strikes my fancy.)

I developed foot neuropathy due to chemo. I've had such a hard time finding shoes that stay on, are easy to put on, that are comfortable and that support my balance when I walk. I finally found these and I love them. They are super comfortable and I can walk better again.
On Amazon. Tiosebon, women's walking shoe sneaker 2229. They slip on easily. They are true to size. $42. I'm 82 years old. They go well with all my casual dresses. I bought some liner socks from Target to wear with them.

I’ve found that Skechers Ghenter Srelt Work Shoe slip-on to work best for me. They have a lot of cushion (which I need because walking barefoot is uncomfortable) and are slip resistant for safety. They are Medium width - I have narrow feet too, but have difficulty finding the shoes I like in Narrow. But these Skechers are snug enough with a sock of decent thickness, and the shoes come up high enough along the foot to give my ankle/heel support to help provide the best support for my walking around. Good luck finding the shoe that works for you!

Hi Debbie, I was about to write about Skechers when I saw your reply. I have wide feet and Skechers wide size 10 is great for me. A lot of cushion, as you said. If you have neuropathy in your feet you better have good shoes. Good luck to everybody on this thread.

Try "Orthofeet". They have the widest toe box and come with several layers of removable cushions.

Thank you!

Having had neuropathy for 15 years, I found tennis shoes to help me the most, They offer more compression than leather shoes.

I also developed neuropathy as a result of chemo.
