Hi @nammers, I used to tease my wife about all of the shoes she had until I found myself with more shoes than she did after trying to find something that worked for my feet with neuropathy. I definitely like the hands free shoes so I can just step in them...makes life so much easier. I'm torn between the barefoot shoes with the zero drop soles and cushy shoes. Cushy shoes like Sketchers and others feel better when I have to do a lot of walking and the barefoot shoes are better for balance for me and allow me to have more contact with the ground when walking. We have a lot of company on Connect trying to find the perfect shoes to help with our neuropathy.

Thank you for the information. I am currently wearing Skechers for short excursions, but lengthy walks become painful. I will pursue the link you sent.
