Hi Kate @katec, Sorry to hear your son is still having severe pain on the bottoms of his feet with his neuropathy. I never gave much thought about the amount of pressure needed for brakes vs the size of the vehicle but it may be worth renting a smaller car for a few days to see if it helps. Also, there are some members who use hand controls for driving but that's a costly option also and may take another learning curve. Here are a few other discussions where members are discussing driving with neuropathy.

There are a couple of discussions on best shoes to wear for neuropathy:
- Does anyone find that a type of shoe helps your foot neuropathy?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/does-anyone-find-that-a-brand-of-shoes-helps-your-foot-neuropathy/
- If the shoe fits, wear it!: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/if-the-shoe-fits-wear-it/

What type of shoe does your son wear when driving?
