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

The ridges are at the base of the toe where it connects to the foot.
The ridges aren't very high at all - but they have made a huge difference
to the neuropathy pain in my feet. I put them on as soon as I stand up.
I no longer feel like I'm standing on a pile of broken glass!

I don’t think I’ve seen ridges in a shoe like that before. Where did you get those sandals? I’d like to try a pair. Maybe the ridges help stretch and separate the toes?

Thanks!

Looks like a Birkenstock. All Birkenstock shoes have the ridges. I've had similar ridges in others, such as Merrell, but the Birkenstock ones are the only ones my feet like.

OMG! I looked at the photos of the sandals on Birkenstock's website -
and they are EXACTLY the same as my sandals I mentioned to fluter! Hooray!
The difference they have made with the neuropathy in my feet is nothing
short or a miracle. They ain't cheap ..... but it doesn't matter when they
diminish the pain and make walking so much easier.
Thank you marieltha!
P.S. I was very surprised that Birkenstock doesn't put their name anywhere on these sandals!

I find that open toe, compression knee sox really help to tap down the prickly feeling on the feet. (I can't take having my toes compressed)

Not shoes but related to feet.

I have 2 pair and both have their name on them: 1) Arizona soft footbed with oiled leather that have the name in the leather by the arch and in the footbed along with the size and a helpful symbol that identifies the width (open foot outline is wide/regular; solid/filled in foot outline is narrow/medium and they are quite narrow in the toes); 2) Milano shearling has the name in the nubuck by the arch and a fabric strip sewn atop the shearling footbed with the size and width symbol. Happy Feet stores (and online) are authorized to sell them and give generous point rewards and often have sales. I started there to get fitted. Birkenstock online offers discounts to members; for example, my Milano Shearlings are $170. and I paid $87 (just sign up for emails to be a member). My ortho surgeon recommended the Birkenstocks to me when I had a toe injury and needed arch support and open toes. I couldn't believe how much my aching, arthritic feet loved them. Still do! I like having a back strap which is why I got the Milano.
Birkenstock is picky about who can sell their shoes and don't authorize retailers who are only online, including Amazon, so there are a lot of knockoffs and third party sellers. And some retail stores, such as Macy's, can sell them, but carry the narrow ones only/for the most part. PS I also got the real Birkenstock socks from Birkenstock.com and they are wonderful! I tried every sock I owned first, but the real B socks are also worth the money--you forget you have them on. I machine wash them, but hang to dry.

My symptoms are not as acute as those in many of the replies, here, but they are very similar and I, too, have had trouble with shoes that hurt. I found Kuru wide toebox shoes work well for me: Atom and Quantum 2 and for boots, Quest. They have heels that wrap around the heel of the foot when you step into them. I also went to a gait physical therapist, which I highly recommend for neuropathy in the feet. They have equipment that helps them see where the pain is and they can adjust the inserts to take pressure off that pain but still keep balance. The combination of Kuru shoes and a physical therapist with a gait specialty got me back on my feet.
