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.

No shoes on this planet will stop the tingling and numbness caused by PN. I have tried Orthofeet and New Balance shoes. New Balance works best for me as it has a wide sole for better stability when walking. There is no cure for what we have. We just have to live with it.

I totally agree no shoes will stop pn but what I said is that I get burning and any type of shoe that let's air in preferably cold air helps keep my feet cool I don't have numbness nor pain I simply thought my comments would be of help to those with similar symptoms as mine james ireland

There is a relatively new shoe out called Nobull. They are the most comfortable shoe I have worn - and I have worn plenty. They have some unusual designs, but for me they work well.

What do you mean by ridges under the toes? Can you post a photo or give us the brand?

Thanks

The ridges are at the base of the toe where it connects to the foot.
The ridges aren't very high at all - but they have made a huge difference
to the neuropathy pain in my feet. I put them on as soon as I stand up.
I no longer feel like I'm standing on a pile of broken glass!

I agree with you about there’s no shoes that will take away the symptoms. I prefer HOKA shoes and that’s my preference.

As I've said before, I find shoes with shearling lining (like Ugg and others) work best. I believe this is because they allow air circulation. The burning starts later, giving me more time relatively pain free
I have even created false Ugg shoes by using their insoles and other tricks.
I'm considering going to a custom shoe maker, but they're hard to find anymore, and very expensive.
It also depends on the weather. Very hot and very cold are the worst
