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

I benefited from gait instruction and some simple exercise for my balance and I don't think having the right shoes solves balance problems.
The gait practice and balance exercises helped me very much. I listened to my chiropractor whom I haven't seen for for quite a while now. You might find instruction on the web. It is good for everyone, usually. Dorisena

I've tried a lot shoe brands for comfort and for ones that aren't too snug, because of sfpn pain. Contact with anything, whether it's the inside of a shoe or sheets and blankets. I don't know of any shoe that improves balance, but in PT I do several balancing stations. Perhaps PT would be the most helpful course of action for you, even if it's just to learn things I can do at home.

I know that most people put off using aids like a cane or a walker, but they could save us from serious injury if we fall.

Whatever solutions you find that help your balance, do all you can to stay safe and independent..
