Cloud5 is a great shoe... To be honest, I really believe the issue here is, the more you spend the better the shoe. Both of these companies have a huge selection, with all types of support, from soft to a firm fit. With Sketchers just from the variety of shoes your selection most likely; was, way to soft for your needs. I'm a competitive runner and the Skechers I use are fantastic with tremendous support, comfort, light and built very well. Cloud5 is a Switzerland company and Sketchers is an American company. Unfortunately, both companies outsource their manufacturing to horrible, abusive, deadly slave labor in China and Vietnam and that's a total bummer! Since I'm typing guess I will also vent-out, that; Neuropathy totally SUCKS! It's so frustrating that the medical knowledge for isolating and treatment is still so archaic almost nonexistent. I've been all over the country for the past three plus years to most of the top clinics searching for anything, even out of the box scenarios that could help, even a little. What I found is, professionals especially since COVID will not even think of working out-side of the box and the reality is they have no tools or support that provide them an insensitive to it. Therefore, if a Neuropathy-patient does not have diabetes they most likely will have not only zero results in finding any type of path for life improvement, but many of us will start wondering if Neuropathy is some type of mental-illness the doctors are hiding from the patient. Thats being a little sarcastic, but I can say in my weakest moments that hasn't crossed my mind. I will conclude by saying since my symptoms started any successful life improvement has been found in simple google search's and a few medical podcast.
