Does anyone find that a type of shoe helps your foot neuropathy?

I am amazed each time I read a post and realize I’m not alone with experiencing this unknown neuropathy. I too have lived, in 5 short years, with seeing blood across floors in my house and taking time to realize it was coming from my toe.. or taking socks off and seeing a big blood stain. I saw other posts about not feeling feet on brake and gas pedals, fears that driving has us more focused on foot position than looking at the road.
The membership here is hitting on so many common experiences with me, and some experiences that are thankfully not in common with me. I appreciate learning as much as I have from folks in this forum, those cheering us and trying to keep us positive, and you and the other mentors for trying to keep topics organized and providing links to helpful resources.
Thanks so much for your help and of course feel free to move post to best position! Debbie

I highly recommend a competent Podiatrist for routine examinations.. Numbness and loss of sensation in tors and feet is dangerous as an infection can easily take hold without you knowing. It should also be part of the process of wearing properly fitted shoes. For that I heartily recommend ORTHOFEET.COM as a reputable source for well designed and supportive footwear.

Hello Debbie, Both of my feet are very numb, lots of tingling, and some pain. I try to walk several miles a day, plus steps/dancing. I live in Vermont, so Ugg and Keen boots with SMART wool socks for winter, as my feet get very cold. In the summer I live in New Balance walking shoes and Bombas gripper socks.

I commute 1 hour five days a week. Driving is unnerving at times. My doctors are a 5 hour round trip, involving Boston traffic(!), that’s the scariest. I’ve gotten very good at using the adaptive cruise control on my car, as well as the parking assist at lights.

Best wishes for finding what works for your feet! Athena
