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

I obviously missed something. What are zero drop shoes? I’ve sen ads for barefoot shoes. I’ve had IPN for about 20 years and still looking for the Magic Bullet. Still taking Gabapentin.

I have Parkinson, poor balance, and neuropathy. I have been wearing zero drop and wide toe box shoes for several years now. This type shoe gives me much better balance.
Hi, @ggflyer46
In doing a little online research on these shoes, I came across only one site that bent over backwards trying to define a distinction; in fact, they'd added a third, middle category (zero balance, ?????, barefoot) the name of which I can't recall. Even reading what this site had to say, I couldn't help but think they were splitting hairs––like defining "tomato": How much of a difference is there between a "to-MAY-toe" and a "to-MAH-toe?" I haven't noticed a difference in my salads. 🙂
I wish you the best on finding that Magic Bullet!
Cheers!

I think it’s just different terminology for the same thing - flat shoes, barefoot shoes, zero drop shoes (no elevated heels), etc.
