Lightbulb and a comment about fingerless gloves:

Here is a thread about fitflop shoes:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread140239.html

I have something to add about gloves, too.

I've been using fingerless gloves, for my hands at night (I have a cool bedroom) and driving around. I am finding they are helping my carpal tunnel. Sometimes full gloves make my hands numb. But these inexpensive partial gloves are working well for me.

Member Stillfighting, suggested socks with toes in them, and I am purchasing a pair off Ebay, to try those out as well.

Default OK comfy socks?

Someone from here sent me 3 pair of these [w/stripes] when I'd had cancer surgery 5 years ago! I ordered the solids this summer and they are super!

Just before putting them on? Turn them out and clip all the loose threads-they aren't compatable with PN. I still wear the 5 year old socks and the new ones too! Feet aren't too hot or cold in either summer or winter! [ I wear sandals in winter] IF the top is too tight? Thread-wise? cutting the elastic doesn't destroy the socks at all! Comfy and warm are my key criteria... and they aren't outrageous overall. Good luck! - j

My new socks came and I have worn them for 24hrs now.

They do not make my feet "hot" or burn.

They are made for pilates.

This is what they are:

So far so good.

I really can't stand socks anymore, but these seem to breathe and are very comfortable!

Lightbulb WalMart today:

We went to WalMart today, and by lucky happenstance I found
some adjustable slippers! They have a soft tongue, and velcro over the instep to adjust to swollen feet, etc.

I have so much trouble with my left instep and the scar that throbs all the time now, these certainly were welcome.

They are not fashionable, and are black and faux fur with closed toe for winter, but they were reduced from $15 to $10....so were worth it. They had a whole new shipment in it appears so there were many sizes (not too many small sizes).

I think they are unisex, as I didn't see any in the women's section. They were on an endcap and were easily visible as you walk by.

I am happy... such a small thing, but it is a huge thing for me lately.

some great tips above...


Socks.
Just wanting to mention that I bought some inexpensive compression (approx $10AU) socks. They're knee high. They're not rated mmHG so guessing they're under 20mmHG. The ones in the pharmacy that are really expensive are much higher rating but I wouldn't try those for my purpose unless I spoke to the doctor first. So, the compression socks are great for me in a flare up if lying in bed for a while. They really have helped me quite a bit.

[I might try an arm sock. They make them for lymphedema. I get problems during my neuropathy flares especially in the one arm where some lymph nodes were removed. I might try that although they're not cheap. I see you can get them for hands as well. That's interesting].

Shoes.
Skechers are making some good ones now for neuropathy (or so they say. not sure if they work or not). I would be careful with the height of the soles in you have balance issues as some of them have these hardish plastic or rubber bits in that bother me. They have step-in ones that don't deal with laces. I'm going to buy a pair and will update. My problem is that I don't allow shoes to be worn in the house but that's where I'll be wearing them.
