Trainers for peripheral neuropathy

Quite a few years ago I had issues with my feet. I went to a sports shop that specialised in running/walking shoes. They took a mold of my feet, stood on a squishy cushion thingy, they then made custom insoles. The instant relief was bliss.

I have Skechers Slip ins. I put a raised insole in, because I have flat feet. There is a firm grip around the ankle. Your foot can go straight in without bending. The toe box is broad and very comfortable.
I paid £99.00 for them overs two years ago. I have worn them almost every day since then and there is hardly any wear on them. They are the best, most comfortable shoe I have ever used. Hope this helps,

They are all over the place in sales. My DH walked out of his and damaged his hip, so badly that a year later he is still suffering.
I am a real skechers fan but think these are dangerous

My podiatrist recommended Skechers for me. I have peripheral neuropathy and osteoarthritis and she said Skechers archfit were okay with the insole taken out and my own custom made Orthotics inserted. She suggested that I wear these all the time.

Yes, that's right, the custom made people take the Sketchers sole out - it's one foot only for me as one leg is shorter than the other and therefore over time my foot twisted.

But the other soles are so comfy and there is invariably proper room for toes, they don't pull in and squish the big toe.

I’ve got mutant feet and live in Nike Air. I like the way I can put my own insoles in. I bought a pair of Nike Air Pegasus by mistake years ago and it was the best mistake I ever made.

Sketchers can be lace up or slip in. I have special inserts in my left shoe and it has been made clear that they will not fit proper medical level inserts into slip ins.

Lace ups give better support as of course you can tighten the laces all the way up your foot depending on the thickness of the insert and ankle. There is a huge range of different kinds of sketchers, .

I'm not knocking slip ins at all, it, but clearly, it's a sort of standardised foot. Great if the work for you.

The more expensive Sketchers are the best to accommodate larger inserts to accommodate and if you need them for longer walks or weight bearing exercise:

but I also have some pretty colour Sketcher lace ups for wearing when I don't need high levels of support.

(Once I discovered them I never looked back, I have 8 pairs and rarely wear anything else).

Now, if you have a bit more money, try lace up running shoes for example google the SAUCONY brand - I have some for winter and summer walking bought a long time ago and they last forever.

Try Skechers Maximum Cushioning Go Walk Trainers for Men. Not slip ins.

The women's versions are fantastically comfortable and supportive. Very well made and last for years

Also Nike Pegasus and Romero are running trainer type shoes used by serious amateur runners. Very well constructed with good heel and ankle support.

Nike also do a range of so called Trail Shoes. More sturdy and heavier than trainers but they help you.

Good Luck in your
search.

Apologise.l should have said Skechers Go Run not Go Walk

I have numerous feet problems and Air Birds are the most comfortable trainers ever. Not a sport sho but I wear them all the time. Lots of colours and styles. I love them.

Thanks for the tip. I have just ordered a pair because I am a half size and they have half sizes. Hooray!

It's worth noting that Skechers do not come in half sizes. I have tried two pairs, one being too small and the other too big. I would prefer the half size as that is what I am! So I'm hoping the Allbirds will fit perfectly.

I have peripheral neuropathy and find that Sketchers ARE NOT good for me because the structure offers no support and I keep going over on my ankle.
Trainers that are leather or imitation leather and can be laced up offer more support. Also consider walking boots which are usually nice and stable and have ankle support

Merrell aurora 4 trainers are super comfortable with wide toe and space for inserts if needed

Birkenstocks.
I wear all the time as slippers too.

Have a look at Fitflops too..

For me Hotter trainers are excellent. For those who need a wide toe box, try Hobibear. I wear Sketchers a lot round the house rather than slippers, but have also read they are not recommended as they don’t give the right support. What works for one person won’t always work for someone else so it is just a case of finding what is right for you.

My very experienced podiatrist does not recommend Skechers as they don’t provide sufficient support for the feet.

My husband has Sketchers and Ecco.
He wears the Sketchers sometimes but prefers the support of the Ecco.

I will try to find the model.
Wide toe box.

Not sure the Eccos are actually trainers...

Sketchers or pavers but go into a shop if you can to try them on

Hok trainers are good too

My Brother in law has rheumatoid arthritis. His consultant advised him to wear Sketchers shoes. He won't wear anything else since trying them.

I have very bad neuropathy and the Skechers Slip Ins look a bit high for me. My balance is so bad I might wobble in those. I use Skechers Go Walk Joy Jaylene and Go Walk Joy Aurelia from MandM Direct as they are much cheaper. They do men's as well of course.

P.s. they are wide enough to use toe or bunion guards in them

It’s not easy to find suitable trainers for neuropathy I know. I have only recently had this. But I have just done about four hours of gardening, potting on etc in my Hotter trainers and they have been great. I have the ones with Velcro and they are sturdy and comfortable. My left foot is numb to touch but does ache, not so today. So perhaps the Hotter range of trainers if they do them for men. It is a nuisance of a problem he has my sympathy
