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.

Shoe brands with memory form liners and pads. I add memory foam shoe pads also.

Barefoot shoes do it very well for neuropathy. Go to Amazon & learn all about them or just Google them. Legitimate reviews are posted.
They are truly a game changer.
I’m 80 & have had neuropathy for 15 years & finally these came along.

I'm embarrassed how much money I have spent on trying to find the perfect shoe. I always to back to the barefoot shoes.

I’ve tried Orthofeet and inserts and nothing seems to work. I tried other shoes and they didn’t work. What we have isn’t going away and the medical professionals will never find a cure for PN. I’m lucky to be pain free, I just have the numbing and tingling in my feet along with weakness. Once the nerves are damaged kiss your normal life goodbye.

I find that Brooks walking and running shoes are kindest to my feet, combined with orthotic insoles. They come available in three different widths. The middle width suit my feet best!

I know I sound like a broken record but please try Barefoot shoes that work to help stiffness & numbness.

Go to Dicks Sporting Goods and try on a variety of shoes and see what works best for you. I like HOKA but there are many others that look funny but feel good. Get a good pair of inserts also.

I can't imagine a shoe without a cushine.

Yes I like them as well. Just not wide enough.

I couldn't either and lived in memory foam bedroom slippers for almost a year but the barefoot shoes really help

Hello ….does anyone use “ minimalist / five towed shoes? I’m thinking of giving them a try to improve my balance?

Thank you!
