Legs weakness with Idiopathic Feet Neuropathy

Hi, Debbie.
The truth will out. I did try putting my unwounded foot in one of the Slip-Ins, and you're right: I had to use my fingers like a shoehorn. But that's okay. I, too, need the snugness. My problem with anything like slippers is that my heel always pops out, resulting in yet another trip hazard.
So, on we go, hoping not to tumble! 🙂

Sorry you have been through such a time with the sepsis and the recovery back at home, Ray! When we are already having problems walking/balancing, a huge wrapping on one foot has to have been the pits!!!
I may be the odd one here, but I do sometimes walk barefoot inside my home... and find that I can feel the floor better and that helps with balance. Yes, I'm always cautious of where I put my feet, but the cool flooring also feels good. The next best thing for me was finding the Barefoot Shoes (mine are Grand Attack brand) on Amazon. They don't have as thick a sole, so I'm watchful, but they give my toes so much room to spread out. I have bought several pairs of them. One other wide brand I purchased was a pair of Lems... and they, too, give me plenty of toe box room! They have thicker soles than my Barefoot Shoes, and I wear them whenever I have a lot of walking to do. Best to ALL! Mike
