I a 71 male that inherited neuropathy from my Dad and am not diabetic. Can anyone recommend insoles that help relieve the constant burning in the balls of my feet when I walk?

I have been buying Sketchers shoes of various styles because they offered some support while feeling cushy for the bottom of my feet. I recently took a chance and bought some of what I consider spendy shoes (~$150) for a pair of Xero boots which are similar to walking barefoot since the soles are flat. I really like that I can feel my feet on the ground which is a little new for me so I have to learn to walk again with them but the toes are roomy and they definitely are higher quality made in the USA.

I have found that keeping the skin on my feet from drying out helps a lot. Do you put a moisturizer or lotion on your feet?
