Thank you! I will!
Any leads will help. The bottoms of my feet are worst and pressure from standing just compounds that.
SFN now up to just above knees and starting in hands and sometimes arms. 🙄
I will be very relieved to find the best footwear though!

I wear Birkenstock Mayari sandals with the soft footbed. The toe hold helps raise the top of my foot to walk. I also discovered Xero Minamalist shoes that help me to feel the ground when I walk. I got the Mary Jane style because it has velcro on the strap which helps the fit across the top of my foot. I've had idiopathic neuropathy in my feet for 25 years, and it has now progressed to my knees, and sometimes I feel it in my thighs. I walk 20 minutes 3 times a day after each meal, and do a stretch and balance exercise every day online. I don't take any prescribed meds only vitamins and supplements. My doctor gave me a prescription for a compounded lotion which does help with spasms of burning pain. I try very hard to eat healthy and hope at age 85, I can outlive the last stages of this $#^$#$ disease! So far I'm managing pretty good. My balance has improved and so far I only use a cane when walking outdoors. I hope some of this helps...🥰
