Hello. I wonder if anybody can help with this problem.(SHOES) I just cant find any comfort anymore. No matter what I wear,after walking short distances my feet are dreadful.I am not exaggerating when I say they feel like I have just walked on hot coals. I dread going shopping or the like and I have spent lots on shoes but nothing helps. I know this neuropathy will never go but just something that helps would be lovely.I take Lyrica and found this helps a lot internally but its the external bit that I need. I have tried the normal inserts etc but I fear they are not designed for us diabetics. Apart from a fairy godmother or a wheelchair It would be nice to find something that is designed by people who have known the pain of this problem. :roll:
 
Try Padders and Fly Flots. they are the only brands that I can wear.( I have awkward feet, but not neuropathy) The Fly flots have an insole that moulds to your foot and Padders have a removable insole, which can give you more room, but is soft and comfortable. Neither brand is high fashion. Fly Flots are mainly mules and sandals. you can get them on-line. Padders have a range of styles and are sold in good shoeshops and department stores. Check the website for stockists near you.
otherwise for very casual wear, the airsole trainers are comfortable. Even I can wear those.
Hope that helps
