This shoe works well with custom orthotics and is one that is used for people with diabetic neuropathy.  I ordered them for my 88-year-old mom, who has the neuropathy but not the diabetes.  They're exactly the same shoes that her orthopedics company ordered for her last time, but they have to charge a considerably higher price and they suggested we order them elsewhere.  I was pleased to find that Amazon was the best place--since I'm a regular Amazon customer already.
