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

Hi. I understand your situation. I can’t wear closed toe shoes due to CRPS in my Right big toe in left foot. My closet has several pairs of Birkenstock’s that are the only type of footwear I can tolerate. Nothing else comes close to at least being able to put on footwear and immediately want to take them off because it feels like your foot is going to explode !!!! Good luck. They are never on sale !! And run about $100.00. Well worth it and they last a long time.

@miross4508 I agree with you about Birkenstocks. I have tried other brands that are supposed to be for diabetic foot pain, but none of them felt right. I have worn Birks for decades and at 75 that's what I'm still wearing---an old Hippie; I guess. But, the Birks have a sole that is hard and that holds my feet in position. I need the stability. I am embarrassed to say how many pairs of Birks I have, but they are the only shoe I can wear. I have a hematoma on my ankle so I cannot wear any shoe that is closed in. My feet hurt all the time and frequently I am in pain when I just walk around the house. But, for now, I'll stay with my Birkenstocks since they help most of the time.
