running/walking shoes

Question
former college football player has aging knees (51) that often ache bothered often on long walks....jogging occasionally results in same situation. What types of walking/running shoes would provide the best support and help reduce the ache?


Answer
Hi Guy
Just any comfortable running shoe such as nike,addidas,new balance,assics,saccony,Mizuno.To fix those knees i would strongly urge you to start some rehabbing.I would recommend stationary biking to correct any alignment and tracking and possible some chondromalacia problems 3 to 5 times a week for 40 minutes along with some leg extensions to strengthen and support the propper tracking.You probably have a fair amount of chondromalacia which is quite common especially in ex athletes,but easily corrected with consistent rehabbing and a great deal of patience.Any other questions just get in touch Guy.


All the best
