Neuropathy in the feet can be aggravated by several factors, including wearing ill-fitting or non-supportive shoes that cause pressure points and friction. High heels and shoes with narrow toe boxes can exacerbate pain and discomfort. Prolonged periods of standing or walking, especially on hard surfaces, can also worsen symptoms. Additionally, poorly controlled diabetes, poor circulation and lack of proper foot care can contribute to the aggravation of neuropathy.
