custom insoles ($300.) which last about 1 year. Thick , expensive Nike running shoes work well or New Balance. They will have a deep heel cup , a flexible sole, and lace as far down to the toes. Make sure they are the mesh fabric and leather as oppose to all leather. The reason for this is because the fabric breathes and feels better on the top of ur feet and toes. I have tried every shoe form europe and usa imaginable. If u have neuropathy and a movement disorder , u need support. also....do u wear compression hose? If u are suppose to and don't , it makes a world of difference for someone who is suppose to wear them. sorry they won't look as pretty, but if I can wear them with my chiffon dresses, then anyone can :) It beats not walking at all. When I was in my 20's, I would have never thought of wearing nikes with dresses. Now I do. of course they have to match. Basic black, white, navy and still looking for solid red! nikid. loll nancy m liz clark wrote: >I was diagnosed with Parkinsons about 4 years ago also >and I also was told I had Peripheral Neuropathy.
