Walking shoes for osteoporosis
Walking shoes for osteoporosis
When walking as a weight-bearing exercise, it would seem better to use a
shoe that does NOT cushion the heel too much. That way, the shock each
time we land on the heel would be greater, and so would be the
bone-building result. Of course, other parts of the shoe - arch support
- remain important. Any comments?

I would be concerned about what the jarring effect might have on my knees
and other joints.
