I can shuffle a bit for a few hundred metres.
What would cause less impact stress to the knee - on grass in bare feet or normal built up running shoes?

How can grass have an arthritic knee?
I'm in your boat, or vice versa. What I've found is that anything like an uneven surface is a killer and so are built up running shoes. My guess is that both things de-stabilize the knee and the moving around it does has the bones grind on each other more. What comes closest to working for me are very minimal shoes, I've got Asics Blazing Fasts on right now, bare feet might be better but I am just not a barefoot kind of guy, on the smoothest surfaces I can find. Asphalt and concrete are fine, smooth dirt would be ideal. Your results may vary.
Thanks HRE. I would have thought concrete was too hard. I am running on grass - perhaps racing flats would be the best option

If you want a cure for arthritis, support laissez-faire capitalism and deregulation of the biotech industry so that corporations can bring tissue-engineered cartilage to the market. The technology to do so already exists, but can't be sold to the public due to the fact that it will take years of time and billions of dollars to gain FDA approval.
how do we show our support
