I am not a doctor and not giving medical advice. I want to share my personal experience. A few years back I had the same pair of tennis shoes for a while. My knees started to hurt. I don’t even know how I discovered that I needed new shoes, and nothing was wrong with my knees. I used to be a sale shopper, and don’t get me wrong, sometimes I still like a good sale. But after that, I became what I like to call myself, a shoe snob. No more buying 10 pairs of $1.99 flip flops. I buy Fit Flops. I have walked all day in my fit flops, and I could keep on walking no problem. I also swear by Brooks Ghost tennis shoes and Sorel Kinetic slip-on tennis shoes. I know I am spending less money in the long run, because I buy less pairs!
It was mother’s day weekend this year, and I was riding up to our cabin with my in-laws. My mother-in-law told me her knee had been hurting and she was wondering if I thought it could be something she was eating. I asked her if she had tried a new pair of shoes? Start with a new pair of shoes and see what happens.
I knew she needed some Sorel slip on tennis shoes. After four stores, I found the style and bought them for her for mother’s day. Every time I see her, she’s wearing the shoes. I keep asking if the knee pain is gone still, and she says yes. Listen to your body. It might be as simple as a new pair of shoes.
