Peripheral sensory neuropathy - Anyone tried Walkasins?

I purchased Walkasins for the first time in 2024 and they have helped me. One of my feet was losing the ability to function as a foot and this device has helped with that; improving to the point of no longer feeling as though it would no longer support me. Along with that came a much greater feeling of confidence in my mobility so I am very grateful for that. Unfortunately, I am now learning that the cost of this device now (both feet and ankles) has more than doubled in price with them now costing slightly over $10,000.00 and, as with many of you, this may be unaffordable. (I originally paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $4000.00.). This is rather astounding to me and while I am grateful for the device and the know how behind them I can't help but be filled with a nagging term of "price gouging"(?). Let's stay informed.

Welcome @yette, thanks for sharing your experience with Walkasins. It’s really too bad that the cost is prohibitive for most folks with neuropathy. I remember all of the hope we had when they first were announced and we saw a prototype back in 2016 or so at a meeting of the Minnesota Neuropathy Association. I think back then they thought that the cost might be in the $1200 range.
