There are two discussions you might find helpful.
-- 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...right?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/if-the-shoe-fits-right/

For me, sandals don't work because I need side support of the feet as well as the arch.

Thanks, @johnbishop. I spent an hour or so at the shoe store yesterday to get ready for my TKR surgery next month. I have always been a New Balance, Munto and Mephisto shopper because I have a high instep and a fat foot. My mother said that was because I went barefoot all the time. And I told her that I was just doing what the cows did.

I also want shoes without laces. Why? Because if the lace comes undone, I don't want to trip over it. Every orthopedic surgeon will tell you, "Don't fall, I can't fix you". I ended up changing to a new company called HOKA.....from France. I haven't had time to research them but the shoes fit like they were made just for me. I will create a post when I have more information.

May you be content and at peace.
Chris
