When walking as a weight-bearing exercise, it would seem better to use a
shoe that does NOT cushion the heel too much. That way, the shock each
time we land on the heel would be greater, and so would be the
bone-building result. Of course, other parts of the shoe - arch support
- remain important. Any comments?

Wear shoes that are comfortable, even if they're not "ideal" from the
shock-perspective. Otherwise your feet are going to hurt and you won't keep
up the routine.

I would be concerned about what the jarring effect might have on my knees
and other joints.

I wear the New Balance walking shoe/sneeker no extra padding in them.

They are great for wearing all day, or in treadmill walking too.
