I've had neuropathy in my hands, feet and legs since I finished my chemo for breast cancer about a year ago. Several times my ankle turned under me and wrenched my ligaments on my left foot/ankle. I found these Sketchers stopped that from happening. The heel flares out at the back, thus preventing the ankle from turning.
They are so comfortable to wear too. I've even washed them in the sink in soapy water without them changing shape. Love 'em. Chris
