[Bob's Mrs]

I have polyneuropathy - I am having difficulty getting comfortable shoes. Can anyone recommend shoes that re not too expensive please? We have only shoe shop locally - Clarks.

Bumping this for you @Bob's Mrs A relative used to get a catalogue that had special shoes and socks for foot problems. It did mention diabetes. I can’t remember the company name but it would be worth a Google.

Stunahome are a company who do 'diabetic' shoes but mail order only so hard to know if they suit, but you can always return them if not suitable.

I’ve just googled and I think the relative used CosyFeet, as I recognise the name.

I wear sketchers with the memory foam insoles which I find very comfy. I find the sizing a bit out and have to buy the next size up from my usual shoe size.

Yes I am a fan of Sketchers, I think I have shallow feet as many shoes are too high at the sides and catch on my ankle bone and Sketchers are just the right shape.

Same here. Got a funky pair that are wicked. My non-diabetic wife owned for years? I’m a convert. Got these in a sale. Bit of a hark back to the 1980s sports trainer. Less high viz colour. Just slip on & i’m gone. Heaven with a non seam sock. Or bare foot.

Thankyou. I have no Sketcher's near me but next time I can get to a shop I will have a look. In the meantime I've ordered from Stunahome.

Have you bought from them please? How long did you wait for delivery? I don't think they are uK based.

I have bought from them, I don't remember waiting ages.

Thanks they asked me to wait for delivery and they would e mail me when it was despatched. Seemed a bit strange. M

I just bought a pair today (we have a branch in town).
The one pair was out of stock and the assistant suggested ordering a pair, then said the one colour there were only 6 pairs in total.
He mentioned that they were end of line. So I guess it's possible sketchers are ending a few lines atm and will be bringing in some new ones.
I just took the one pair, and will maybe take another look in a few weeks
