Nooooo they're honestly great getting old,they don't slip off your foot,so you're not gripping with your toes,my orthopaedic surgeon told me which footwear to get and so far she's not been wrong BUT I dare say,what works for one,may not work for another 🤷‍♀️

I was really surprised Jaypo, but it seemed like everyone in the forum thought Skechers were the worst shoes ever! As I just replace all shoe insoles with the PF ones it doesn't worry me, but I did notice the Skechers insoles have less arch support than the PF ones I get.

I only can speak about the Bob slippers,she didn't mention the Skecher shoes or trainers, I think they are quite soft aren't they? Ahhhh getting old is such fun 🙄

How do you fit the insoles in your existing shoes?  Aren't they tight?  I've tried and it doesn't feel right.

Yes, that is why I started HRT as oestrogen is associated with cartilage repair.

5 years or so ago I had an MRI on my knees and surgeon said I had OA and was on run down to knee replacement. Knee kept flaring up when I ran and he told me to stop doing that.

I have been on gel based HRT for about 3 years now. No knee pain and back to running.

I cant say HRT has been an easy ride but has been great for my ostearthritis. Barefoot shoes also helped - tried heels once and abandoned them as too painful.

I take the original insoles out, and replace them with the specialist ones

For some reason the Bob slippers never work for me. I so want a pair because I love the designs but every pair I try is uncomfortable or a poor fit.

Thank you for your replies. Very helpful.

Morning.  Any medication with 'co' in the title makes me really really ill  and codeine products shouldn't be taken more than 4 days on the run/trot ;-)

Cortisone injections are great but you can't have them long term. ........ .  OUCH is my response
