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

Hello,

Due to the small fiber neuropathy my feet are extremely sensitive and develop irritation, red patches and callouses very easily. I cannot even wear sneakers unless I get two sizes up and line with sherpa or lambswool. For socks, I can only wear the thick heat holders as it gives me padding even in the hot summer months. Ugg slippers are great but cannot wear them to work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Before I developed lymphedema in my legs and was looking for comfortable socks for my feet with neuropathy, I found that socks made with bamboo were very soft and stretchy and felt really good on my feet. I now have to wear compression socks which help the lymphedema but not without great discomfort on my part. Here's an idea of what's available for 2020 - https://bamboo-comfort.com/reviews/best-bamboo-socks/

I normally wear Sketchers slip on shoes made with leather and not their canvas ones. What type of shoe are you wearing now?
