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.

Right on brother!

Sometimes its not about the shoes. I find I sometimes need to ditch the socks. As I write this I am now in LLBean topsiders which I have in green and blue. I also do a TV-run stretching program every morn and I am barefoot on the mat. I have never heard of the Barefoot shoes but I will look them up.
