Mike: I suffer from arthritis in both feet but I was wondering what the best type of running shoe is for my condition?
Chris: Osteoarthritis is a common injury where the cartilage within a joint has worn down, usually due to wear and tear over a long period of time. The cartilage is a shock absorber between two bones. This injury can arise from poor mechanics, increased repetitive impact-based exercise, as well as dietary factors and genetics.
