Shoes for knee arthritis

Recently there has been some research on special shoes for people with arthritis of knees,a very common problem.
Walking shoes with triple density,variable-stiffness midsole stand mild lateral wedge insoles designed to unload the medial knee seem to be the way to go.
Unloading shoes which have stiffness laterally than medically reduce knee loads medically.
Examples of the shoe system include,
ABEO SMART system(the walking company),
GEL- Mrlbourne OA or GEL -Melo(Asics)
The research did not prove that these shoes worked better than others but patients did show less pain and more comfort.
It's worth a try!
