Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy
Neuropathy | Last Active: 2 hours ago | Replies (1050)Comment receiving replies
I am an 81 year old male with non diabetic neuropathy. I think it is from agent orange from combat in Vietnam. The neuropathy started to manifest itself in my late 60s. When I wear close toed shoes for any length of time my feet “burn” pretty badly. I like to play golf and that’s when that “burning” sensation really manifests itself. Does anyone have suggestions on good golf shoes and socks to wear to minimize the neuropathy pain. Also would like any suggestions on good walking shoes for my neuropathy condition. Mahalo for any suggestions. Aloha😀🌈

Hi, as a fellow golfer with PN (non-diabetic) for 16 years, I cannot keep even sandals on due to burning feet. anything touching the soles drives me nuts, particularly if the ambient temperature is over 20C (68F), which it often is here in South Africa. As a league player, my club captain managed to get special permission from our provincial golf union for me to play barefoot after providing a letter from my neurologist. He also requested that I be allowed to always play with a golf cart as standing also exacerbates the problem. I mostly try and play in the early morning when it's cooler, but after 10am I bring our a large block of ice to put my feet on whilst my golfing partner drives the cart from shot to shot. I have found everyone to be most sympathetic. Don't let PN defeat you!

Yes, same. I play golf & have some women’s Skechers Go Golf water repellent, wide toe box shoes. I bought 1 size too large & they are working great. I just wear ankle padded socks. Hope this helps.
