while the footbed be well shaped and give good support to the arch , I be disappoint that there be not more `` give '' in the sole . it remind I of the wooden Dr. scholl sandal I use to wear in college . now , all these year later , I have a achy knee ligament , and these sandal do not do much to absorb the shock of a footfall , especially on concrete or asphalt . my foot love they , but my knee do not .
