I have ordered bought and returned so many shoes including Orthofeet, Horkas, Skeetchers. When ordering toebox width is seldom available so I have to return another pair. Am currently wearing New Balance which I’ve worn for cpl years. My problem is I need WIDE toebox. Everything squeezes my bilateral PN and causes freezing/burning cold pain. I’ve even tried men’s hoping…but if they are wide enough then they are too big. Often just wear my Rock Dove slippers but rather not drive in them. Anybody know of WIDE toe box shoe that won’t break the bank? Appreciate suggestions.

You could try Rocket Dog shoes. I purchased a pair because of a cute floral print. However, I don't wear them because of the wide toe box. Like many other reviewers I think they look like clown shoes. (No offense to clowns). These might work for you and are mostly between $30-$60. They come in styles from sandals, sneakers, shoes to boots. https://www.rocketdog.com/

I feel like Gravity Defyer shoes have the widest toe box I have found. I always buy wide width and they take returns if still in new condition. Best of luck finding comfort.

Altra. Shaped like a foot and no heel rise.

I also need a wide toe box. I bought Wolky XW shoes and they have been wonderful for me. I had to go to the Wolky internet site to order them. Amazon does not carry this style. Today I was reading an article about so many people wearing Crocs for comfort and realized that my expensive Wolky shoes are shaped very like my Crocs I have at the beach. Has anyone tried Crocs for neuropathy? I wear diabetic socks made from bamboo. I also have a device that holds the bedclothes off my feet. Without those three triggers (shoes, socks, and bedclothes), I no longer have any neuropathy pain.

I hear you. I am you!! Currently I am trying out a new pair of Brooks Ghost.
What I do live in are Oofos sandals. I wear the sport ones that you can adjust. Unfortunately, they do make a shoe but the toe box is not wide enough for me. Also, I live Hawaii so I can get away with the sandals almost all year round. Not for the trails though and I do walk my dog on the trails. This has been an ongoing journey forever. However, it has been more difficult as I get older. I just put the Brooks Ghost on and they feel pretty good. You can wear them and return them which is cool. Good luck.
