My pediatrist recommended getting Stegmann clogs for neuropathy in my feet. He said never walk in bare feet because you need support. The shoes are a bit expensive -$150, but I have had them for about 2 months and my feet are feeling much better and I can now sleep at night. The arch and metatarsal support along with the wider shoe box allow my feet to spread out. My toes were so locked together that I wasn't able to do that before. I still have tingling and some numbness, but the horrible pain that was waking me at night has stopped.

The Swiss Engineering On Cloud has the wide but you have to get a size larger than what you normally get. I ordered mine from eBay slightly blemished but huge discount.

I got a Skechers D'LUX walker. Plenty of soft cushion and wide width for lots of room. No shoestrings either.
Almost feels like a slipper. Anything without much padding or that fits too tight bothers my feet.

As you can see by the comments, everybody has their own opinion on this. Personally, I love Crocs. I know, pretty crazy, huh? All this to say, you gotta find what works for you. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to go through multiple kinds to find that it. All the best.

Totally agree! I was an avid croc wearer before neuropathy but now I find them too loose and because of the numbness I am afraid I will not feel them flopping and trip in them - same with flip flops

OMG you have no reason to be embarrassed no matter how much you spent. I am 72 and I have been spending a lot of money on shoes, even custom made, since I was in my 20s. That was before I had neuropathy. But I’ve always had flat feet and until I was in my 30’s I was a AAAA width, so I’ve always had trouble finding shoes that I could stand in for a long periods of time with comfort. Later in my late 40’s I developed neuropathy from diabetes. The pain and the numbness drove me insane for a long time. I ended up starting to use a cane because I started to fall. I went to more than one foot doctor, at least three or four. I finally got orthotics which were covered by insurance. But otherwise they just gave me pain pills. Then somewhere in my 60’s a doctor prescribed Lyrica. They told me it was first and foremost used as a seizure medicine for epileptics. But they found out that it regenerated nerves, or something like that. It was a godsend. I was able to get rid of the cane. I could walk like a normal person, and I started wearing Brooks shoes. 10 years go by and I have developed osteoporosis from taking letrozole. The tech who did my bone density scan told me that Lyrica was very hard on the bones and so were statins. I did some research and I got my doctor to cut my statins in half. He had recently started me on 80 mg instead of 40 when I had a perfectly good lipid profile. Then I decided I was gonna stop taking the Lyrica. So I did. Within one weeks time the symptoms started to come back. I was telling my niece about it and she told me to go to her homeopathic chiropractor. He started me on B vitamins. In a week, my symptoms were gone, and that was, I don’t know how many years ago maybe four. I have never had any problems. This is not something he pulled out of the air. There is research studies on B vitamins and nerve regeneration. All I know is I could’ve been taking B vitamins all this time instead of Lyrica. My insurance covers three pair of orthotics and one pair of diabetic shoes each year. And I always get them. I sometimes do not wear diabetic shoes, but I always put my orthotics inside. They really help because they relieve the pressure in the right places.
