-- Does anyone find that a type of shoe helps your foot neuropathy?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/does-anyone-find-that-a-brand-of-shoes-helps-your-foot-neuropathy/.

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?

@pjs52 I have several types and brands of shoes that I wear, Teva the most. I found that moisturizing with cerave with hyrolonic acid works the best. I also give myself a foot massage at night ( after I do my Happy Feet foot yoga). I do put the moisturizer on in the morning and give my feet a quick workout before I take my Berners out into the world, and walk a couple miles. For me socks have made all the difference. The smoother the better. With my neuropathy, I do not want to aggravate, and socks that have a cushy sole, constantly stimulate a nerve that does not know how to turn it self out. Happy nerves=Happy feet.
