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

I am so late posting.
I did not need any break in for my Hoka Clifton 9's. That said, I feel it is too cushy a year later and I am now in search of a slighly firmer shoe base. My gait just doesn't feel secure. I've tried Zero shoes and could not walk in them. Very unsteady. I like Orthofeet sandals for the comfortable sole, but sandals are not a shoe that I walk in well. No storenear me that sells Orthofeet. I plan to visit Dick's Sporting and try on Brooks and New Balance. Maybe a Sketchers too.

Hi, rollo8 (@rollo8)
I hardly gave my Hokas a fair chance to prove themselves to me. 🙂 I tried, for 8-10 days, then returned them. They felt like I'd strapped sofa cushions to my feet. Like you, I need a firmer, more positive contact with the ground. I've tried and liked Brooks and New Balance over the years, although right now I'm wearing Sketchers as my go-everywhere shoes. My Sketchers aren't perfect, but they're not bad. After all these years and all these different shoes, I'm now only inches away from accepting that with PN there is no truly, 100%, no-qustions-asked "perfect" shoe. Some come close, especially as each of us has a different need. At the moment, I can live with that.
Cheers!
