Does anyone find that a type of shoe helps your foot neuropathy?

Welcome @oneperfectcook, I haven't had any Orthofeet shoes but have had Sketchers and currently am wearing some Xero boots. I have a wide foot with hammer toes and for years wore size 13 medium until my 60s after I my neuropathy had progressed. I started buy size 14 wide just so it was easier to get my foot in the shoe and I had some toe wiggle room. I found that the Sketchers slip-ons in the wide width worked well for me and I recently bought a pair of the Xero Denver boots which are not as easy to put on only because I have to fully open the laces so that I can pull the boot on.
Have you thought about talking to a podiatrist to see if they might have some recommendations for a good fitting and comfortable shoe that offers the support you need?

The slip on Sketchers are working for me also. They are solid all the way around so good support

Thank you so much for your help. Might try Skechers slip-on if sturdy enough. Soft sides don't offer enough support. Neuropathy in hands is severe -- can't tie laces. Tried Orthofeet slip-on. Nice shoe -- could not get my foot in x-wide. Not sure if Podiatrist would be helpful but I will ask. Extremely thankful for my ancient New Balance shoes whose laces were permanently loosely tied to allow foot insertion when hands still worked. Appreciate your help. Will keep looking B4 ancient shoes disintegrate!!
