I found the best flip flop so far and I have quite the collection. The brand is "Cobian" I bought it at Sports Athority. It has a very thick and very soft soul and it is also arched quite well. I plan to get another pair....Of course so far this week my feet feel pretty good. I almost forgot I had neuropathy until one cold day I put on socks.

I've also noticed that some of the more upscale stores are beginning to make flips with better souls. Colombia makes a realy nice one. unfortunately there was only one pair left and it was too big

For hiking I wear a sport crock from the "bite collection" I can't find them anymore. I have 3 pair, 2 black and one baige. They are not the ugly looking ones. They are nice enough to wear for dressier occassions with matching diabetic socks.

However I am on the hunt for a comfortable hiking boot for winter.
