Not only do I have severe foot neuropathy from extreme frostbite (long story- I'm a survivalist investigative journalist & author who lived among the Homeless of Minneapolis for 5 years to write an authoritative book about the subject, but in the process almost died of hypothermia and incurred frostbite damage so severe my left big toe fell off and regrew). Sketchers are great and depending on the fit I also use the most expensive Dr. Shoals inserts. In my most active days I was a retail manager for Guitar Center in Minneapolis on my feet 8-12 hours some days. Casual slip ons made by Merill were the best for a combination of comfort and support before neuropathy. I am still an avid outdoorsman and yesterday just bought semi-expensive ($100) Merill low cut hiking shoes at Cabellas. Both can be ordered online, but because my left foot after extensive muscle damage is a 1/2 size larger, so I now buy (depending on fit in store) size 12W or 13 when I used to be a mens size 11. This is to allow for orthopedic inserts if needed (even for my wool lined slippers) because the difference is usually more toe room not affecting the fit. Additionally, I wear very fluffy socks (never the hospital type with little traction buttons on the bottom) and take 1200-1500 mg of Gabapentin daily which is dosed by body weight (I am about 240). My stern advice- go to Cabella's or similar outdoor store that stocks Sketchers, Merill, high quality slippers and most styles in their less expensive house brand Red Head. Never skimp on footwear! Also my United Health Advantage medicare has ancillary coverage of medical extras in the form of a $500 year Visa card for the purpose of non-covered items like glasses, dentures and other co-pays that may be related to a diagnosed condition like foot neuropathy. Also please go to your best local podatrist if your insurance require a formal diagnosis to pay for some or all of the cost of orthopedic shoes which do not need to be custom made, but avialable at better quaality retailers like those (mostly athletic and outdoor supplier stores) who sell sketchers and similar high quality shoes and have staff knowledgable to fit you. I would never buy online becuase not only does all footwear fit differently within a brand, but most being made overseas, are sized in metric sizes of centimeters which does not always translate to American numeric mens and women's styles, which are also different. Bottom line? Invest in great shoes like Sketchers, Merill and other top quality brands and always shop in person with a budget that is adequate, even if the best shoe is $50-$200 for some very comfortable slip on Sketchers, Merill or other outdoor walking footwear (I do a great deal of trail hiking) and please discuss safe but maximun dose levels with a neurologist if possible or at least a podiatrist or a family practitioner well trained in neurology and/or orthopedics and physical therapy issues who will provide you any diagnosis or referrals to specialists to meet any insurance requirements to cover footwear for medically necessary conditions like foot neuropathy.

I wear crock flip fops with oversized or stretch out socks around the house
