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

I don't have any issues driving my car with my zero drop sole shoes. I can actually feel the pedals better than with my Sketchers and other more cushy shoes.

Funny you should mention longer laces because when my new Saucony Triumphs came yesterday, I remarked to my husband that the laces were rather long!

Thanks for that , what actually do you mean by zero drop sole shoes , does that mean no heel on the shoe .?

Zero drop just means the foot is level from front to back. Like it would be walking barefoot. So no heel is another way of saying zero drop soles.

Thanks John , I thought it meant that ,, I’m having a terrible flare up at the moment so I need to try something different . I see the shoes that people are talking about , brands ect. But I have not heard of these in Australia and I would rather not order online as I want to try before I buy . Im a bit stuck where to look now

John - I almost always struggle walking barefoot; even at the pool I need a cushion on my feet to walk both inside the pool and out on the concrete deck for both balance and comfort. Yet on rare occasions my feet feel like they’re wrapped in bubble wrap and cushioned shoes are too much. Do you ever feel like you need to alternate between Skechers and zero drop shoes? I’m not sure how safe it would be for me to frequently change shoe styles, so just wondering if your feet ever oscillate between needing flat vs fluffy.

Hi Debbie, I struggled at first due to the lack of cushioning when walking on concrete but it's gotten easier the more I do it. I'm about 8 or so months into using zero drop shoes. You can use orthotic inserts in the shoes that have a little cushion and seem to help. I do keep an old pair of Sketchers slip-on shoes for inside the house but they have long since lost their cushy feeling 🙂

For me, this is a timely conversation. A few days ago, I received my first pair of Sketchers; I've yet to wear them outdoors; I'm still breaking them in indoors. They are "cushy" compared to the Nunn Bush shoes I've been wearing. The Nunn Bush shoes are "old," not zero drop (I'd not heard that expression before), but far more offering of a feel of the ground than my new Sketchers. You can probably guess what's on my my. I'm wondering if I should begin wearing my Sketchers, even while I'm driving, or should I learn to alternate shoes: Nunn Bush while driving, Sketchers (when appropriate) all other times. I might add that I wear orthotics and would need them with either pair. –Ray (@ray666)

OrthoFeet work for me!!! Nothing to lose...free shipping and returns plus a trial period! And they have every style you can think of. I was placed into the world of Neuropathy while being treated for Bronchiectasis. The ID doc left me on a high powered antibiotic for too long!! And I was telling her that something was going on with my feet! Neuropathy from this drug (Linezolid) is supposedly irreversible!
This lead to finding a doc for the neuropathy. I'm seeing a chiropractor whose mother has neuropathy, so I figured he understands! It's all natural....lots of supplements, infrared light treatment, and electrical stimulation. Seven and 1/2 weeks ago I could not walk at all. Tormenting 24 hour a day pins and needles. That all went away. I am still numb from the knees down with spots of feeling coming back here and there. I started walking around the block a week ago (with the occasional weaving), but my biggest disappoint is not being able to drive yet.
I should be fighting only the Bonchiectasis battle, but thanks to the ID doc I'm fighting two battles now!
