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

@ray666 Try them without orthotics first - the idea of barefoot is it forces the muscles in your feet to do a little work instead of being effortlessly cradled in an orthotic.... and give it more than a day or two 🙂 I have been wearing them inside and outside for more than a year and they make a difference for me!

Hi, Kathy (@kathyv66)
That's what I'd figured I'd do: if the shoes squawk at accepting my orthotics, I'll wear them anyway, and as you suggest for more than just a day or two.
Were you a long-time orthotics wearer like me? I've known that I've been coddling my feet by wearing orthotics all these years, but after "all these years" not wearing them is often painful. I wish years ago someone had suggested I look into rebuilding my problematic feet.
There was one doctor, a long time ago who offered a "new" surgical proceedure to restruct a flat-footed person's arches, but when I investgated what he was proposing, I declined.
Cheers!
