While there can be numerous causes of knee pain, some of the most common causes of pain in your knee can be caused by a poor choice of footwear. We know that Runner’s Knee and IT Band syndrome can improve with supportive footwear, and most are running trainers. It is important to remember that most running trainers are just as effective for walking and day-to-day activities. We see a lot of patients with knee pain in our clinics and we are using this article to provide you with the recommendations that we provide them when it comes to the best shoes for knee pain.
