My knees bother me if I don't wear shoes with a lot of cushion. The zigs don't have enough cushion for me. There is an air max 90 out now that has very good cushion. Also, air max accelerate has very good cushion in heel and fore foot. Much more than zigs. The 2016 air max have much more cushion than the 2014 and the 2015. Need a little sharpie work.

Finally, if you want a running shoe similar to saucony, Mizuno actually has a black shoe called wave tenjin. It too needs a bit of sharpie work but it is very light shoe. Extremely expensive however. It has a wave plate the length of the shoe. Similar to their wave prophesy shoes.

Strengthening the quads helps my knees. Mine is from arthritis and is in both knees. When only one hurts it may be something specific causing the problem. Cartilage tear...or flap stuck. Orthopedic surgeon could do exam and have pretty good idea what the problem is.. MRI would tell you for sure. Losing weight works wonders too...if you can do it. Good luck.
