What shoes have you tried that are nicely cushioned throughout the whole foot, with at least decent durability?
3.5 weeks ago I received a hyaluronic acid injection in my right knee for no cartilage, arthritis, and meniscus torn in two places. The shot was no help at all for the first two weeks, then had one day with no pain, then three days with pain again, and then pain free for the last 6 days.
Decided to try playing again, laced up my KSwiss Bigshot Light 3 shoes, headed to the courts, and my knee started hurting before I ever set foot on the courts. What gives? The only change was wearing those shoes.
So I switched over to the only other shoes I had for pickleball...some old KSwiss, black with orange/pink accents, and a "sock" inside that cradles the foot. Have no clue the model (but remember I stopped wearing them because they wore out so quickly) but no pain at all when I was playing.
I know the shoes won't fix my problems or get rid of the pain, but I think extra cushioning will make it a little easier on my knees until I have to eventually have the knee replaced.
Thanks for any recommendations!
