Men's Shoes for Neuropathy
(10.1k reviews)
Neuropathy can be a result of trauma or can stem from several diseases, most notably diabetes. Repetitive motions or cramped positions can also cause neuropathy or make it worse. The best men's shoes for neuropathy give those sensitive toes plenty of space to reduce painful friction and impact.
Regular exercise can help prevent or manage the symptoms of neuropathy, but it can be hard to get moving when you're already in pain.
That’s why at KURU, we work from the ground up to promote pain relief and foot health. Our patented, heel-hugging KURUSOLE technology dynamically protects your heels, and our ULTIMATE INSOLES ensure proper arch support and plenty of cushion in the places you need it.
Our KURU GURUs say these are the most popular men's neuropathy shoes.

Features of Men's Shoes for Neuropathy
Neuropathy shoes are specifically designed to address the unique needs of individuals with neuropathy. These shoes offer various features that promote optimal foot health, reduce pain, and enhance overall comfort. Let's explore some key features to consider when choosing neuropathy shoes for men.
Extra Depth and Width: Neuropathy often leads to foot deformities and swelling. Therefore, neuropathy shoes should provide extra depth and width to accommodate these changes and prevent unnecessary pressure on sensitive areas of the feet. This feature ensures a better fit and minimizes the risk of developing blisters or ulcers. KURU shoes feature wide toe boxes, and we offer several styles in wide widths to help give your feet the space they need.
Soft, Non-Irritating Materials: Choosing shoes made of soft, non-irritating materials is essential for individuals with neuropathy. These materials help reduce friction and irritation, preventing potential injuries to the skin. Look for shoes crafted from breathable fabrics or soft leather to enhance comfort and protect the feet.
Ample Cushioning and Support: Neuropathy shoes should have superior cushioning and support to absorb shock and provide stability while walking or standing. Look for shoes with advanced cushioning technologies, such as gel inserts or memory foam, to alleviate pressure on the feet and enhance overall comfort.
Arch Support and Stability: Proper arch support is crucial for individuals with neuropathy as it helps maintain the foot's natural alignment and reduces strain on the feet and ankles. Look for shoes that feature built-in arch support and stability features to promote optimal foot biomechanics.
Adjustable Closures: Shoes with adjustable closures, such as Velcro straps or laces, are ideal for individuals with neuropathy. These closures allow for easy adjustment, accommodating any swelling or changes in foot size throughout the day. Additionally, they provide a secure fit and minimize the risk of tripping or falling.
Choosing the Right Men's Neuropathy Shoes
Now that we have explored the essential features of neuropathy shoes, let's discuss some factors to consider when choosing the right pair.
Proper Fit: Ensure the shoes fit properly by measuring your feet accurately. It is recommended to measure your feet at the end of the day when they are slightly swollen.
Consultation with a Podiatrist: If you have severe neuropathy or foot deformities, it is advisable to consult with a podiatrist or a foot specialist. They can provide valuable insights and recommend specific shoe styles that cater to your unique foot conditions.
Comfort and Style: While prioritizing comfort is crucial, it doesn't mean you have to compromise on style. Neuropathy shoes are available in a wide range of designs, ensuring you can find a pair that not only provides relief but also suits your personal style.
