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

@solobeee1
I wouldn't mind trying a pair of barefoot shoes, but I'm skeptical that they don't have enough support and that it would be easier to injure or cut your foot which is a very serious matter in neuropathy if it leads to an infection. Have you worn an orthotic with barefoot shoes?
Take care,

I have several pairs of cushioned soles that are comfortable but not as versatile as the barefoot shoes which are great for exercise & better for walking & driving since the soles are thin & you can feel the pedals. There are plenty to choose from & most of them are inexpensive.

Barefoot shoes have become my go to shoe with my feet neuropathy! They are comfortable, wide toe area and you can sense the ground you are walking on and I have never felt any sharp rocks etc. There was a recent study via an article about Hoka and Zero tennis shoes-- that shows there is way too much cushion and thus one does not exercise & condition the small and tiny muscles that are in the feet and toe area. Plus one is more prone to fall easier because of too much padding & cushion. That is where barefoot brand shoes shine! They constantly are conditioning and forcing one to use those muscles in your feet. I actually believe my neuropathy is lessened as far as the deadness/numb feel due to my barefoot shoes! I have nearly gone 100% of my time wearing my barefoot style shoes and my expensive Hoka and Zero tennis shoes sit on my shelves. Barefoot shoes on Amazon can go as low as $30-$45 and they are a great investment for your feet.
