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

I'm a mixed bag myself Ray. I have several pairs of Xero barefoot shoes and four pairs of Orthofeet which are a little less cushy than the Sketchers I used to buy. I did break down today and ordered a pair of hands free Sketchers that didn't look to have the max cushion that a lot of them do. I definitely like the barefoot shoes the best walking around the house and the yard but if I have to walk any distance like going to a doctor's appointment at Rochester Mayo instead of my local Mayo Family Clinic I opt to wear my Orthofeet with better cushion for walking. I've got the senior shuffle down pat so not worried about my balance but I am more careful.

I definitely want to try a pair of barefoot shoes, John. I keep hearing so much about them. As you might have gathered from my earlier post, my concern are my orthotics: should I keep rummaging about looking for a pair of barefoot shoes that are welcoming of orthotics, or should I just go ahead and buy a pair of barefoot shoes, give the a good try, and worry later if they might be even better* with orthotics (*comfort, balance) at a later date. So many decisions to make! So little time! 🙂 –Ray

Has anyone tried Grounded barefoot shoes? Can't wear Orthofeet or Sketchers or SAS. Keen sandals are tolerable, but the most comfortable is simply shoeless--or with socks.
