It's still there, it just isn't irritating you anymore. If you went back to your previous sneaker size, it'd trigger a flare-up. You've found a treatment that's effective for you. This is excellent news!

I can still feel the nerve damage from mine, just a little tingling between the two toes when I put my weight on my foot. But no pain or difficulty walking anymore. Definitely flares up when I have to wear heeled shoes (like for weddings and funerals) but the symptoms subside within a day after switching back to my flats and arch supports.
