Boxing shoes for bad knees.

Nothing on shoes, but my brother had a hip replacement (he’s about 50) and still trains and he does all his cardio on an elliptical now for what that’s worth. Swears by it.

 

Shoes are unlikely to make a huge difference in terms of knee stability, unless you have foot problems (excessive pronation/supination) - and even then, it can be addressed with inserts/insoles. A more effective approach will be to properly and adequately strengthen all the muscles involved - quads, hamstrings, hips/glutes, core. Hopefully you're already getting some of this as part of your rehab. I'd manage it this way before returning to any kind of boxing training - there's an old saying in rehab: you can't built a house without a good foundation. Get everything stronger and more stable and it makes it less likely that your knee problems will interfere with training.

Hope this helps -

 

Oh,man I had same problem last year but I did not go to surgery but pain was so big I could not even walk normaly!
if you take shoes take the ones with a soft and thicker sole because when the sole is soft then the foot and feet are more comfortable so the pain is not felt while when the sole is harder then the grip leg is harder and more tiring so the pain is greater!

 

DRs dont always understand what the human will is capable of. They kind of just go by the books. They tell you what there study tells them . I had tears in both my meniscus two years before this video. I let them heal on it's own, no surgey. I am 48 years old. So this video was a few years back . But my Doctor told me because of my high blood pressure and gained weight I can not jog for miles anymore. But he is wrong. These things are because I eat more than I should . Nothing more. But here I am able to spar. Its honestly not the best sparring and I would be much more effective if I was in better shape. But I am still able to do what I love.

Take the time to recover and your body will tell you if you will be able to do these things. Your Dr. Can only really tell you WHY you can no longer do it if your body stops doing it. Two torn meniscus, overweight and high blood pressure. Dr. says I cant but here we are

Didn’t think about these before but I just started back on a (low-key) conditioning program and pulled out my walking shoes (I prefer Brooks brand fwiw) and my workout socks.

These Thorlos are the best “active-wear” socks I’ve ever owned. You’ll really feel a difference. Not sure what it would do for bad knees but it’s not a huge expense so might be worth a try. I have the Amazon link here but you can usual find them at places like Sports Authority and sporting goods stores that sell running shoes. The two on the left are the ones I’m talking about;
