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

@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.

Thanks for your reply. This forum is helping me realize that I’m not alone. I’ve been too timid, for lack of a better word, to look in forums like these. It’s really beginning to help me as now I have resources that can offer alternatives and options I didn’t know were out there. My feet are in constant pain 24/7, even with my feet up in a recliner. The gab and oxy takes the edge off but I’m always in some amt of pain, anywhere from a 6 to an 8 on the pain scale.
Thanks for everyone’s support as well and thank you Carol.
