2004 Best High-Impact Walking Shoes?

Question
I am a 'power walker' and my knees are starting to hurt (especially in a.m.). I am 44 and have been a power walker for my whole life. I have subscription to Consumer Reports, but their info it kind of 'outdated' (2002 for sneakers of all kinds) so can you recommend a good one?

I've had a lamenectomy & a fusion, due to slight scoliosis & a bad car wreck in 95'. I think I have a 'slight' tilt, lol, due to the slight scoliosis:) But I won't let nothing stop me from my 1st love of walking for exercise:)

Any advice is appreciated!

HI SUSAN
MY FORTY FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER POWER WALKS, WE JUST WENT TO A BIG SPORTS STORE IN PITTSBURGH, PA AND THEY FITTED HER WITH EXPENSIVE POWER WALK SHOES, BUT I FORGET THE NAME OF THEM.
SHE ALSO DOES WALKING UP HILL ON THE TREADMILL, AND WEIGHTS.
SHE KEEPS IN TOP SHAPE AND HAD FIVE KIDS.  THEY ARE TWICE HER SIZE.  SHE IS A TINY SIZE 5.

THIS IS WHAT I SUGGEST IF U HAVE A BIG ATHLETIC STORE THAT CARRIES TOP BRANDS OF SHOES AND CLOTHES, THEY KNOW WHAT IS SELLING, WHAT WORKS AND IS WORKING AND WILL GUIDE U TO THE PROPER SHOES. U JUST TELL THEM THE LIMIT U WANT TO SPEND BUT WANT THE MOST FOR WHAT U HAVE ALSO, THEY ARE GREAT AT HELPING U GET WHAT U NEED TO KEEP HEALTHY FEET AND ARCHES.

WARM REGARDS
