Richard - I just went for my annual physical yesterday and the doctor cautioned me to be sure to always walk with my feet pointed straight. He said my 5 year old bionic knees would last much longer if I pointed my feet straight than if I walked with them pointed inward or outward. I have tried to watch this when I'm walking on the treadmill at YMCA, but it's harder to remember when just walking normally. At least at the Y, I am walking in front of a mirror and can check the position of my feet. That can really be a revelation! I tend to walk duck-footed but if I remember to straighten out my feet, my knees are fantastic. Watch those feet!! Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
