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.

But you probably can’t drive. They are comfortable, for sure but they are deceptive for other activities. Look into Barefoot Shoes for comfort, balance & strength.

I find Brooks shoes are good. I have Ghost 16 and yesterday bought Glycerine.

I also say those are the best shoes that I have ever wore for neuropathy. I can wear them all day long and they’re very reasonable on Amazon.

It is truly this style that I see the difference. Somehow it is more comfortable than all my other seven pairs of barefoot shoes.

I wear nothing but Ecco sandals- they give me balance support and have NO pressure point issues

I finally gave in and went to a good shoe store, where they put me on a machine that image your feet…pressure points etc. Anyway , I bought Saucony sneakers which have wider toe area and lots of
Cushioning. They are ok looking.
I have much more balance.

I hobble my slow 5ks in Brooks along with steel toe work socks. They are my every day shoe except when it is really snowy/sloppy, then I wear Muckboots. Hey, Brooks work for you and me and others work for others. We are lucky!

Natural fiber shoes! Cotton..anything but synthetic materials...they irritate so bad.
The barefoot shoes that were mentioned..they're AWESOME!!

Try FitFlops - my foot doctor pointed them out and got me walking properly again - Small Fibre Neuropathy had me walking light a crab and causing other issues. These shoes and some determination did the trick.
