Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

My cold neuropathic feet are killing me as the weather cools off. My tile floors were OK in the summer but they pose a problem now. My Rockdove slippers warm my feet up when I’m in the house but but when I walk outside, which I try to do daily , I wear my new balance athletic shoes and because the pavement is cold it makes my feet so cold. Walking in stores or sitting in a meeting with concrete floors makes my feet so cold too. Can anyone suggest some kind of winter shoes that I could wear outdoors. Because of the neuropathy I need a wide toebox and some thing I can fit my insoles in. I would really appreciate any suggestions. My moniker is Bcool and that’s becoming more and more appropriate as winter comes on! Can you help me?!

Hi there bcool123. I have the same problem. When my feet get cold is like "liquid" ice is covering them. I have been wearing New Balance for years as I pursued walking adventures as well as daily exercise. I just got a pair of HOKAs. They have a higher sole and thicker, stronger base. Therefore my feet are not in such close contact to the ground. and hopefully will stay warmer. I also can wear thicker socks which help to keep the tootsies warm.

Now...here is the question for you. What do you do for your hands? My are always cold and have the neuropathy tingle tangles. I noticed that you can buy special heated gloves and they were priced at $99 at Costco. What do you use on your hands? What would you use if you lived in MN in snow country? I am a transplant from CA and HI and not quite used to anything below 50 degrees.

Thanks....and may you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris
