I have a very bad balance problem, my doctor explained it to me in a very clear and understandable way, With neuropothy we are not grounded. Makes sense now, as soon as I put just one finger on something I am balanced and grounded, all it takes is one finger on anything. Crazy! The best shoes for me are Hoka Bondis. Believe me I have tried everything including Mephistos, I always go back to Hoka Bondis, lots of store have them on sale, online. Best wishes to you..
