That can go in many directions. Shock absorption is helpful but not as important as how your foot structure is and how it affects your knee when it hits the floor. New research shows that runners are at no higher risk of developing arthritis than anyone else so the impact is not a big determinant of arthritis. So, bare walking is fine. Hope that makes sense. Best of luck!
