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

I had good luck with a referral from my doc to go to a podiatrist. After she listened to my issues she recommended 4 brands of shoes that would help, as well as providing other input for reducing neuropathy pain. I've tried on Brooks, Hoka, Altra, Saucony and am giving the Hoka's a try as they were most comfortable. I don't have balance problems so not experiencing what some of you are. That said, everyone's issue is different! I wholly recommend going to a podiatrist for their take on it. What works for one might not work for another person.

Bull's-eye! That's the reason this topic is so popular and long-lasting. I noticed that to date this poic has 1,204 postings. Wow! I just returned my first pair of Hokas. They were super comfortable––until I stood and began to walk around.
My PN symptom is entirely bad balance. While the Hokas felt great so long as I was sitting at my desk, the moment I got up and asked the Hokas to help me with locomotion, they proved too cushy, so cushy that I felt I might tip over in any one of 360° directions. My conclusion? Hokas are fantastic shoes, but not if a PNer's problem is entirely bad balance.
