Welcome to this discussion. I had a very painful Morton's neuropathy in one foot several years ago. After discussion of potential surgery with a lower-extremity surgeon, and getting the warning from him that surgery might not "cure" the proglem, I opted to see a local orthotic maker. He made an orthoticc which keeps the arch of the foot high enough to allow the bones in the fore foot to stay apart so the nerves are not pinched. His first try did not provide relief so I went back. He added a bit more height to under the arch, and Violá, no more pain. The addition of height (support) under the arch is not noticeable to me, and it does not affect what kind of shoes I wear, other than I don't wear the othotic in sandals; I get a brand of sandals with a built-in arch support. Hunt for an orthotist with a lot of experience and training. I live in a town where there are Olympic-level athletes who get orthotics to help in any and every way; I can only give him the highest ratings. Find one who is knowledgeable in dealing with Morton's neuropathy. Good luck!
