Improving neuropathy without spending a fortune - What actually helps?

Responding to your comment on barefoot shoes. I currently have problems finding any shoes that are comfortable. I have a pair of Altra's that are okay comfortable but found the zero drop Altra's uncomfortable. I have been intrigued by the barefoot shoes but hesitate to buy shoes without a recommendation from someone with experience. Which barefoot shoes would you recommend? How do they feel on the bottom of your feet? Most shoes are so uncomfortable for the bottoms of my feet which seem to be very sensitive to the breakdown of the soft bottom shoes. I would really love to find some sandals for the summer that I could wear and have been looking at Hoka brand - I know people who wear Hoka shoes and love them. Thanks

I have several brands - Hike, Leguano, Saguaro and a few unknown brands. It sounds like you need a bit more thickness on the base - my leguanos do not provide that, however, my saguaros are winter boots and they are thicker... none of tge ones I have tried are as protective as thick soled shoes.

Have you heard about the new Sanexas therapy for neuropathy pain? ? I started the Sanexas treatment last year. I have had really good results. I have written a story about my experience and would gladly share it with anyone. Please let me know.

I love my Hoka Clifton 9. I have a Hoka slip-on for wearing in the house, but the toe bed is not as comfortable. I bought them online. If you invest in a Hoka shoe, try them on in and store and really walk around. I went to a Dick’s Sporting Goods, and the young kids there knew nothing about the shoe, but let me walk in different models all around the store. The Hoka Clifton 9 works very well for me. There is also the Hoka Bondi 9 and one other I cannot recall. I tried Zero shoes. A no go. Very unbalanced and just not comfortable, for me.
