Echo Knit Mary Jane Sneaker (Women)

Hi, I am very disappointed in the changes made to the sole and the added cushioning. I have been wearing ryka shoes going back 15 years. They wear well and thought of buying two more pairs that looked simular to my older ryka shoes. The heel height and cushioning to the Echo and Joy shoes after trying on was a surprise after taking my first couple of steps. I have had three knee surgeries. Any added height and cushion can create added instability and discomfort to walk. After 50 years in nursing, it has taken a toll on my knees. A firm supported sole with less cushion of the past years is perfered. I am a retired senior and have lost the window to return by 12 days. Time flies. It is unfortunate, since I am on limited funds. Take care and God bless.
