Ive tried several. none work. have to return them. I thought maybe someone here has feet problems and found a good shoe they could recommend?

I have Morton's neuroma and plantar fasciitis. I'm on my feet 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. it's very possible that no shoe will help me at this point. I'm getting OLD. lol.

You should go to a podiatrist and have them recommend either shoes or more likely custom supports that you can use with any shoes.

What is macgig, what is?

My Podiatrist recommends only good quality walking footwear and personally I do like Saucony brand.

Clarke make shoes with wider toe boxes to relieve pressure on the toes. That may help. They aren't stylish, but comfort should be the primary factor.

SAS shoes. Made in San Antonio, Texas. Not inexpensive, but the best walking shoes that I ever owned.

No, they aren't. But, mine worked so well I bought a second pair so that when I have to send them in for the flexible part to be replaced, I have a back up. It takes 2-3 weeks to get them back.

I have Morton's Neuroma on my left foot. The pain was painful at times, to non-existent at another time. He was walking barefoot, especially walking down the stairs. I finally went to the doctor (after several years), when my leg above my stupor the last two toes were bruised from the neuroma! I went to the orthopedist and received inserts that cost a fortune, but, unfortunately, it didn't help.I have yoga toes, and they do seem to help somewhat.For workout shoes, I wear New Balance https://bestoutdooritems.com/best-running-shoes-for-mortons-neuroma-reviews/ so the hour or so per day I spend in them, and it doesn't seem to bother the neuroma.Also I recommend to watch this video on YouTube
, I hope this will solve your problem at least a little
