Does anyone find that a type of shoe helps your foot neuropathy?

I recently purchased a pair of Hoka shoes. These provide extensive cushioning of the soles, averaging about two inches thick. Also, not tight while still fitting well. These allow me to stand and walk much more than before, being able to once again walk 30 minutes at a time on my treadmill.

Hello, farmerjohn (@farmerjohn)
What a coincidence! I was just about to post and ask if there is anyone else besides me who is not head over heels in love with their Hokas. I bought a pair of Hoka Clifton 9s two weeks ago and have been trying daily to break them in gradually. Balance is my No. 1 symptom (idiopathic large-fiber PN). Unlike my Skechers, which I'd been planning to retire, these Hokas make me feel like I'm walking on marshmallows (bouncy, bouncy). Add to that, they make mefeel that if I'm not careful I might tip over backwards. Would you know (or anyoneelse who's a big Hoka fan) if I just haven't given them enough time for me to get used to them. I guess my biggest complaint is that the Hokas are not giving me a good, solid feel of the ground, which, in my Skechers, I had. I don't want to give up on my Hokas, and I won't, if you or others say that I just need to give them more time.
Best wishes to you!
