--whether one has neuropathy or not.

I don't know to what extent they may have contributed to anybody's neuropathy, except the compessive kinds, but they sure can cause a whole host of foot, leg, and back problems.

Why people choose to put appearance (the whole long-looking leg thing) or fashion ahead of comfort has always been a mystery to me. The good thing, perhaps, is that those of us with neuropathy are sort of FORCED into wearing comfortable shoes/clothes--there's something about that kind of pain that'll make you forget about fashion really quickly.
