Re: Neuropathy and shoes

Have you tried SAS shoes? Pricy but very comfortable. I live in their sandals and also gave a pair of closed toe. They have a lot of widths too
Keep the faith

Re: Neuropathy and shoes

Have you tried crocs? Both the classic clog-like style and many of their other more"fun" styles. Materiaal is a bit like rubberized egg white so very"forgiving"

Also authentic scandinavian wooden clogs (leather top) come in sandal styles too and a shoemaker can use a 'shoe swan" device to "bubble out the leather over any "protruberances" to make your shoes fit your feet rather than try to make your feet fit your shoes, injuring them in the interim.

Scandinavia clogs have a rocker bottom which helps many with neurologic problems (balance problems, sensory problems etc) walk with a more normal gait by giving them more feedback (including auditory if you want to!) Especially helpful in those with MS, Parkinsons etc

Expert fitting of true Scandinavian clogs available in Portland, periodically in LA or Chicago/NYC-- fitter travels to "restaurant shows" and sells to lots of people who spend hours on their feet eg chefs, surgeons etc

Not here to advertise anyone... if curious, post request for name of company doing the clog fitting (they get custommade clogs made by special factories)
