The top of my feet is where my neuropathy is very painful! Some felt ok, then after a few minutes they hurt.

Any seams in the soles I could feel 10 times greater than what a person with out neuropathy would feel, I assume that anyway.

For having a disorder that one of my main symptoms is numbness, I sure can feel the slightest seams in any shoes, especially sandals since they are worn bare foot.

I almost fell trying a few pairs on, with out a back strap, the sandal was to large, and due to the numbness in my feet, I could not even tell my foot slid out.

Well I am afraid the days of wearing cute sandals are in the past, but I suppose there could be much worse things, so I will try not to feel sorry for myself for very long and carry on.

I ended up getting a pair of Clark's they are cute sandals, cushioned on the sole so they are comfortable, the top part is bearable, and they were not extremely expensive 52 dollars.
