My joints in my knees have been cracking for yrs and recently i switched back to dr sholls shoes and my knees?

when my other doctor sholls shoes fell apart i was wearing some hush puppies, and that was making my joints crack and since i switched back to dr sholls, my knees have been healing up and havent been cracking, is there something to what youre wearing that can heal up your knees and the shoes you wear can determine how your knees feel, i noticed theyve been healing since i switched shoes, but now i need the non skid type cause it gets slippery where i work so i ordered some oxford sneakers that have the non skid and dr scholls type in them, any one know about those sneakers and wether switching shoes can make a difference?
