Has anyone got any advice on footwear to buy for painful toes neuropathy. Find it difficult to wear any shoes or even slippers. Can only wear open toe sandals but this isn’t good during the winter months. Desperate to find some shoes to wear

Thanks. I have had a look for some reason the diabetic footwear are wide fitting. Its for a slim foot but extreme pain on the toes
 
Welcome @willowmina1914 🙂 Sorry to hear you’re in pain. I hope you’re getting some help with the neuropathy?

How about the shoes they give people when they’ve had a foot injury? Something like this (they have various sizes and are cheap to try):

Yeah, but they're 'open toed' sandals again. I have a lot more success with more expensive shoes and always have. eg Clarks (normal Clarks shops rather than their 'outlet' stores since the latter are not always true to size) and Van Dal. (if you can find a shop that still sells Van Dal)
 
Are your feet and toes swollen? If so, the doctor should be prescribing a diuretic, to reduce the swelling.

Perhaps the doctor would refer you to NHS Podiatry, but don't hold your breath for the appointment.
