Socks - What helps with Neuropathy?

I only wear socks when I need to get dressed up. Most of the winter it is sneakers with no socks and the spring summer and fall it is sandals. That’s how I deal with it. I do have 3 kinds of “diabetic” socks but like none of them. I’v actuall cut the toe part of the sock off and sewed them up between the big toe and the next toes to jerk them from bunching up. Seems to help.

I have peripheral neuropathy lower legs, up to about 6" above the ankles. I have found that wearing support hose during the day makes neuropathy-life much better. Sure, there's pressure noticed with them, but to me it's worth it.

@marie1959 I found that with my recent hip replacement surgery, wearing the toeless anti-emboletic socks ( prevent blood clots) also called Ted hose helped my neuropathy. I wear the top knee ones along with circulation socks and that's keeps my feet warmer with less pain.
