Does anyone find that a type of shoe helps your foot neuropathy?
I am on a constant quest for shoes that don't kill my feet due to the neuropathy. I find that Spencos and Wolky shoes seem the best. Are there any other suggestions? Shoes can be just crippling for me. Horrid.

@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 have a pair of practically new Addictions sitting on the bedroom floor, tempting me. I hope that maybe if I can manage to build my leg strength, I'll be able to wear Addictions again. In the meantime, I'm making do with a pair of rather ordinary Nunn Bush––comfortable, but hardly exciting.
Crocs work great
I picked up a low cost pair and I live in them.
My doctor said to treat your feet by standing in a bucket of hot water as often as you can .
My favorite footwear for outside is my UGGs with an arch liner because there’s no pressure anywhere on my feet. However, they are not good for walking. I also love my crocs with arch liners. I am on the hunt for a comfortable sneaker for walking.
If I did that I would add Epson Salts to the water. The hot water is certainly soothing and I believe that the Salts draw impurities from your body!
What are AFOs? I have balance issues and always must hold onto a folding shopping cart or walker. RC
I'm sorry I'm looking for information on a good pair of shoes my feet are killing me
Definitely not tight fitting and has good underfoot cushioning with arch support, as well as the mattress that you sleep on. After spending thousands, literally on mattresses, I have settled on all organic latex; 3" firm bottom, 3" medium, and topped with two 3" soft, encased in a zippered cover with a plush cotton composite mattress protector on an adjustable bed frame with head and foot massage; total cost for a Twin XL earlier this year was about $2400+/- $50. It has been well worth the expense. My sleep is still intermittent, but much improved over the expensive more conventional mattresses that I tossed three of in as many years.
I use Brooks
