@lorirenee1 @retiredteacher, Hi Ladies, just wanted to chime in here regarding neuropathy and shoes, my least favorite subjects 😉 Lori, I so much loved everything about the Spenco mule but they just did not work for these picky feet of mine so sending them back. I have ordered and sent back so many shoes I feel like a crazy person! I went to a shoe store called Foot Solutions here in San Diego and met with a Pedorthist. They made custom orthotics and I just got them. I am wearing them for an hour the first day and try to increase the time each day. I will most likely need to go back in a few days to have them adjusted which is quite common. They are already digging into my high arches, ow. I don’t have any numbness in my feet so I feel everything!! My husband does not have neuropathy but he swears by his custom made othotics that he wears in all of his shoes! He is a lucky one!

Carol, I hope so much that the Spencos work for you!!! But I have decided that I really have to try everything on from a specialty shoe store. At least if they don’t work you can take them back if worn only in the house. I don’t know if they have Foot Solutions stores nationwide but might be something to think about. They have a lot of mule style of shoe but the Pedorthist said I need a more supportive shoe which the SAS sneaker shoe I am wearing is not. But he doesn’t want to sell me anything new until I get used to the orthotic which I appreciated. I would be so happy if I can do my walking again!!! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed!!!

@lauraj155 I guess I'm on the same quest many people are on. I remember the good old days when I could wear spike heels and flats and tennis shoes, and fancy expensive shoes all the way to going barefoot. Now, it's the bane of my existence to try to figure out what my feet will tolerate. I am thankful to @lorirenee1 for getting me started with the Spencos. When they come, if they don't work, I'll be trying something else. My Birks (over 100 pairs) are the only shoes I have so I am starting all over. I am not going to wear shoes that cost a fortune, even if my feet hurt so bad that I can't walk. I am going to have to settle on something in the affordable range. This is the most awful shopping I have ever done, and I have always been a shopaholic!
I'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for your info on Foot Solutions.
Carol
