I have bad knees. Do I really have to wear sneakers all the time?
Briefly

The author struggles with a torn meniscus and the life adjustments required, particularly regarding footwear. Despite health professionals recommending sneakers for knee support, the author dislikes their aesthetic. Acknowledging the high number of knee surgeries, they reflect on the dilemma of balancing comfort and style, especially at a stage in life where prioritizing physical health complicates personal expression. This leads to humorous encounters with friends and a desire for better shoe options that don’t compromise on looks.
"In the meantime, I'm having a massive style crisis about what shoes to wear... every time I've asked a health professional which shoes are least hard on the knees, they say sneakers."
"What if I didn't want to wear sneakers everywhere? They look so bad with jeans (on me). And with dresses and skirts – sob. I would rather just not go anywhere ever again."
