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

I too had extremely sore and red feet and had gone from Medium to W, E2. E4 to loosen friction—For me, that was totally wrong. Much of the redness and pain came from friction of foot and socks sliding around. I have found that buying the correct size shoe, which fits snugly around the heel along with high quality socks made for people with diabetes and neuropathy helped a great deal. I wear SAS walking shoes, Protals inserts and Dr Comfort socks. There are even better sock—at $12 to $20 per pair,

When I had ankle injuries in the past, I found that wearing leather shoes instead of tennis shoes provided more support and comfort while healing. I also found that walking on soft dirt in the garden caused more pain than walking of firm sidewalks or asphalt. it also took a long time to heal, but I stuck with leather ties shoes for support. It wasn't difficult to give up high heeled dress shoes, either. I now wear wide shoes, but am comfortable at last. My fashionable look disappeared some time ago. Dorisena
