The product, in the report: Aetrex Sport Lac Curved Sole Women’s Walking Shoe,
I bought these shoes on April 4 at The Walking Company in Minnetonka, MN. I have been a fitness walker for years, walking four miles a day at least every other day. On days I can’t walk four miles I walk two miles in walking shoes and have had no problem.
In June, the inside of my left knee started to ache and I chalked it up to getting older. I am 54 so thought this was middle aged aches and pains. Last Monday while I work I felt sharp jolts of pain and went to the Urgent Care doctor where I was diagnosed with an inflamed ligament, which I am to ice, wear a knee sleeve and take two Advil capsules twice a day. The next morning, my husband read the article in the August, 2011 Consumer Reports about these shoes and it clicked. I have had no other changes in my routine except buying these shoes.
I didn’t like the feel of them that much, but for $134 I thought I would wear them until my 500 miles were up to buy a new pair. Now I wish I would have stopped wearing these earlier.
