Neuropathy and How it Affects Your Feet
Neuropathy occurs when you have nerves in your body that have suffered some damage and no longer function properly.
Diabetes is one of the number one causes and onsets of Neuropathy in general and causes Numbness and tingling in the feet and lower limbs.
Neuropathy can affect your feet, legs, arms, and hands, causing pain, tingling, a burning sensation, or complete Numbness.
Loss of sensation in your feet and legs can be a problem because you cannot feel pain, heat, or cold, and you can suffer an injury without knowing it.
Symptoms such as pain, tingling, burning, and swelling can also occur in the feet, soothed with the right pair of comfortable slippers.
What do You Need in a Slipper for Neuropathy
- Closed Design – I highly recommend a closed-design slipper for Neuropathy that will not slip off your feet and adds extra toe protection with reinforcement for comfort and durability. Because of the lack of feeling, you may not notice losing a slipper or even stubbing a toe, which is why the closed design is important.
- Cushioning – A cushioned footbed will provide a soft base and comfort for your feet to protect them and absorb shocks.
- Underfoot Protection – A durable and thick sole that can protect your feet from sharp objects and punctures is recommended, especially if you lack any feeling.
- Fit – When it comes to fit, you want a fit in a slipper that places the least pressure and strain on your feet and can accommodate swelling. Look for a shoe that has a flexible and comfortable fit that is not too snug so that it is squeezed and not too loose that it may slip off. Look for a roomy toe box in which you can easily splay your toes.
- Temperature Regulation – Because some Neuropathy symptoms include Numbness and the lack of feeling cold or warmth, you need to get a slipper to provide your feet with the right temperature for the conditions. In cold weather, an insulated or lined slipper can help to keep your feet warm, and in hotter summers, a more breathable cotton or fabric slipper without a lining can keep your feet ventilated and cooler.
Features of a Good Slipper for Neuropathy
- Fit – Look for a Roomy Toe Box fit that can accommodate swelling and other foot deformities and ensure that the interior is seamfree and nothing can irritate the skin. Look for adjustable features and a comfortable fit that will flex and mold to the shape of your feet without adding pressure.
- Materails – Leather and textile materials are ideal in a slipper as they are flexible and soft against the skin. Wool, Faux Fur, and Fleece can be a soft and gentle lining against the skin. An EVA midsole and rubber sole are ideal for shock absorbency and durability. The rubber sole should have lug patterns for slip resistance.
- Design – Look for a slip-on slipper with a closed heel and protective reinforced toe or a Velcro closure adjustable design. Moccasin Slippers are perfect and easy to slip on and off.
