Special shoes for neuropathy.

Good morning all,
I am seeing adverts everywhere for shoes that claim to help with neuropathy.
I have tried various creams and socks and to date nothing has made much difference.
Has anyone had a positive experience of these shoes?
Thank you.
Cheers
Nick

Sorry, no experience either way.

Given that the neuropathic pain seems to come from the nerves themselves being damaged, I'm generally sceptical about external treatments - shoes/socks/ointments etc - that claim to help. They may well be more comfortable in themselves, and I'm a big fan of things like Gentle Grip socks if you've got a tendency to oedema, but I don't see how they could affect the basic problem.

Yes, that was my thinking too. Thank you.
