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

I used to come home and kick off shoes. Now I can’t. Have all kinds of problems with my feet.
They feel numb and tingling. A pin dropping on foot feels like a brick. Walking on sand is impossible. Can’t wear socks because the folds hurt terribly. On and on with different sensations and pains.
As for shoes, the only kind that are comfortable for me are “Merrell’s Encore Breeze 4”.
Since I don’t wear socks, They have a great insole that is washable or one can replace with new insoles. The outside shoe lasts for years. They come in different colors. Some might think they are too expensive but they are not if you don’t need a new pair for several years.

@terryrose I cannot be bare footed either, but shoes remain so hard to me, too!!! I do have Spenco flip flops, which my Neuropathic foot will tolerate. I used to love buying shoes, and now they are a perpetual problem. Such bizarre sensations from shoes from Neuropathy. Oy. It kills me..... Lori Renee

It took me 12 to get shoes that cause me the least pain. My neuropathy is toes to thighs and hands. I would suggest buying shoes as soon as the old ones start to wear in order to preserve the benefits. I wear seamless socks—like you I felt every stitch.Price vs benefit, I wear Dr Comfort, Wigwam $7+. There are even better brands that cost $12/pr up to $75, which I cannot afford. I also wear shoes before I get out of bed until I go to bed in the evenings.
