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.

I would appreciate a link to a pair that meets your specs. I can't find these specs in the descriptions online. Thanks

I have 4 different styles, all work for me equally well. The common denominator is they are all with either "relaxed fit with memory foam 360" or "wide fit air cooled memory foam with gogamat arch support". Although they are stretch fabric uppers and soft "urethane?" soles, they can get hot by the end of the day if you have sweaty feet. If you can find an outlet store, they are frequently in the $35-$55 price range so having 4-6 pairs for rotation works best for me. I have tried the Hike Barefoot style - they do not do anything for me. There was a style of walking shoe that worked for several years, but then got dropped by the manuf. which led me to Sketchers. Walking has been good since (no more pins and needles pain). Good luck, just gotta keep trying until you find the relief, then life is good.

There seems to be as many shoes as there are people that need them. Reminds me of the old saying 'If the shoe fits...' Don't listen to people, listen to your feet. try 'em. Send them back if you can or donate them. For me I ended up with a high end running shoe with laces, they are stable, lightweight and supportive ... and the laces are physical therapy in disguise. Walking is not automatic anymore; it takes focus and thought. For me the steadyness helps avoid the twisting and stressing that contributed to my pain. Yes, it still hurts, but I get from here to there...one step at a time.
