Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

I agree with John on almost everything. But I walk barefoot most of the time in my house. I like the feedback that my feet and toes get as I walk around on the carpet bare floor. When outside or at the gym, I wear soft soled shoes with a wide toebox so my feet and toes have a chance to move instead of clumping around in some of those heavy duty sneakers. Best of luck to you!

Hi Stef, I also am barefoot around the house, because it allows many of the muscles around the feet, ankles etc., to , more or less , to get our feet working again, but a warning.
If you have numbness in the actual soles of your feet, it can be very dangerous, as if we stood on glass, as example, the brain does not receive this information, and also the wound can become infection, and cause all sorts of medical problems. I have bought a pair of very lightweight shoes used by surfer for better grip in the water .Here in aussie they cost under $10. You can also use them in the pool, or in the shower.God never made feet to wear shoes,, or any type of insert. Best when out walking, if possible, skip the paved footpath, and pick rough unpaved areas or grass. Good luck Stef, and just go for it.
