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

Posted by lorirenee1 @lorirenee1, Mar 25, 2019

I am on a constant quest for shoes that don't kill my feet due to the neuropathy. I find that Spencos and Wolky shoes seem the best. Are there any other suggestions? Shoes can be just crippling for me. Horrid.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

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.

While still lying down in bed I let my legs, from the knee down, dangle off the bed and wiggle, twist and turn my feet before getting up. This seems to get some circulation going before standing up. Not perfect, but better.

@sikocesca My mom has this problem with neuropathy and foot deformity so she cannot stand on her feet at all without shoes. She got shoes for diabetics ordered from her podiatrist. Here is the link to Dr. Comfort Shoes. https://www.drcomfort.com/

I just observed that my right foot is numb and the toes are free. It started yesterday and very uncomfortable as if am putting on socks from the ankle. Any assistance for quick relief?

Also, can anyone recommend a reliable podiatrist in India. Am trying to get in touch with Dr. Somesh in India for a surgery.

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.
