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.

Can your toes hold them on? I am kind of new...
Hello Pattivt, yes they fit just like regular flipflops. Toes should hold between big and 2nd toe.

I a have not been able to hold them on, feet are so numb
I’ve followed this topic quite a bit over the last few months. Totally agree with all of you that getting the very best fit & comfort from Good footwear shoes is essential. I personally have settled in on OthorFeet footwear. After many many years on searching & lots & lots of $$$$ they are my go to shoes. Both sporty & casual.
Sketchers have been the go to for my husband.
I have had relief from Grounded barefoot shoes. I had rarely been able to wear any shoes without pain. Their claim that they improve the neuropathy remains to be seen but just having shoes that dont hurt my feet is a big success
I prefer my barefoot shoes over any shoes with a thick sole.
I have severe neuropathy and bring able to feel the ground better and strengthening my feet and ankles have stopped me from stumbling* and falling.
I’ve been teaching a fitness and fall prevention class and my balance has improved a great deal.
I still stumble, due to drop foot but my muscles are improving my ability to catch myself. Before hitting the ground.
