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

I am probably the odd duck, but I have had my best luck with minimalist footwear. As long as I keep up my daily walks and ignore the occasional pain from stepping on hard objects, it seems to be working. They also help me feel the pedals when I drive.

I like Hike Footwear, that works for me

Barefoot Shoes are great because they strengthen ankles & calves - help with balance & increase blood flow.
Check them out on Amazon.

even my foot and ankle dr said my "keen yogi" clogs were great I have two pairs that are probably over 5 years old. often I don't wear socks with them but when I do wow!! cozy!!

There are so many different types of Barefoot shoes. Which ones help you? Thanks for sharing 🙂

Grounded Footware makes the lightest & thinnest styles that my wife loves but as big guy, they don’t give me the best support.
“Hike” Barefoot shoes have the largest selection with thicker uppers & soles that give more support plus they have boots that are very supportive & comfortable.
Oranginer Barefoot shoes are another brand with a good selection of styles that are supportive & comfortable.
These are all available on Amazon but check delivery dates. Some styles takes weeks for delivery & some just a couple of days with Prime.

My Podiatrist always reccommended to get shoes with good support and not go barefoot.
Take care,
Jake

I commiserate with you all regarding foot issues, which I've had my entire life. But I fondly remember the time that I tried on some flip flops in a "Five and Dime" store roughly 30 years ago. As soon as I stepped into them, it was like magic! I proceeded to wear this brand until I could no longer find a single one the world over. They were made in Brazil, by a company called Grendene, and the style was called Ginga. They were a very solid, but oddly pliable flip flop (which never made that awful flip flop sound). They had the perfect arch support built in and a slight cupping at and around the heel. They were perfect! For a few years, I was able to buy them on Amazon and started stocking up. I even wore them to work. When I first started there, a coworker looked at my feet and with a thinly disguised air of judgment, asked, "What's with the flip flops?" (I almost always wore the black ones) I said, "They're my orthopedics." I wasn't lying. A single pair would last for several years and when the very last pair (seemingly on earth) broke, I searched high and low, eventually settling for a bad compromise. Ever since (2 years) I have had foot, knee, and thigh pain. What I wouldn't give for just one more pair of those Gingas.

Hello 🌠

Yes = I definately explored various types + manufacturers of shoes following a difficult-to-treat severe foot injury called a SINUS TARSI...

And I learned by trial and error = NOT all shoes help with the pain of peripheral neuropathy...

I have had exceptional success with
✨️Vionics✨️
I have bought their
sneakers + womens alking booties...

They were designed with medical professional expertise + are cut wider across the mid foot...many styles come in regular + wide widths.

The higher arch support + soft interior cushioning doesnt "annoy" the hyper sensitive complex nerves of our feet.

And Vionics makes QUALITY products that last...

For any 'sustained movement' like everyday walking, health promoting exercise programs, child care, work, stepping in + out of cars + buildings, house chores, yard work, travel + making our global village a better place for all = Vionics has delivered for me every beautiful step of the way 🌠..

Do you have to contact Medicare to get approval for the shoes or do you just let the store know and they take care of it. Thanks in advance.
