@bluesky222 I share the same with you, Ray and many others. I experience numbness, no pain, poor balance however, I have drop off as well. I was actually prescribed AFO's for drop foot in Feb 2020 and at that time, my balance was less of an issue. Over the last almost 4 years my balance progressively became worse but an extra plus for me, the AFO's help with balance. I am asked at times how much it helps with balance; I'd say about 60 to 70% improvement. When you don't have a cause for the PN, in my opinion, you need to find out what helps you and that will build confidence when you can improve your balance. Wish you the best! Ed

I'm sorry I'm looking for information on a good pair of shoes my feet are killing me

Thanks very much for your comments, Ed. I will keep your name for the future, since our neuropathies do sound much the same. I am new to this group and appreciate learning more. I was diagnosed around 2016 because of my gain being strange. I began wearing the braces in 2021. My balance issues are accelerating, getting worse more rapidly it seems. I've been using a cane when out of the house for the past 18 months. Ugh! Thanks for sharing!
