Hello @bcool123, Welcome to Connect. You are not alone! A lot of us with neuropathy have asked that same question and I'm sure there is a lot of variety to choose from. My neurologist recommended I wear a shoe that provides good side to side support. My preference for shoes are slip-ons that have memory foam insoles for comfort. I also love bamboo fiber socks that are stretchy but really soft but that was before I started wearing compression socks for my lymphedema in my legs.

There is another discussion on shoes for neuropathy that you may want to view here: 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/

There is also another discussion where members have shared their experiences with their neuropathy journey that you might want to read here: Member Neuropathy Journey Stories: What's Yours?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/member-neuoropathy-journey-stories-whats-yours/

Are you able to share a little more about how long you have had neuropathy and what type of neuropathy was diagnosed?
