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.

Great to see this. Do they have arch support? I have very high arches that require support or I get pain. Also, I have low fat pads. So, feeling the earth though tempting would work against me.

no - they do not have firm arch support. I also have high arches - they hug my arches and it feels good, but I wouldn't call it support. My foot pads are also thin - I can barely stand walking on hard surfaces in bare feet, but somehow these shoes are just enough cushion.

I see. Thanks for the info. My Vionic has an extremely pronounced arch support and it serves me well. I may need to venture back to their brand. I don’t think they have much like the style Keen has though. And, I’m told the Vionic sport sandals are narrow. Not my friend. My search shall continue.

Doxetaxel chemo caused neuropathy which really upset my balance. Any under foot support just made it worse. I bought these on Amazon which really helped and I wear them for almost everything. "Grounded Footwear for Women Men with Neuropathy"
