A lot of "golden-age" people have arthritis. In my case, wearing three-inch heels for decades didn't help.
Wearing sandals with good footbeds helps (naot or memphisto are two names I like).
Of course, ceramic tile is very hard on knees.
If you're still wearing flipflops or going barefoot, then good for you.

Senior, in your case, since you're planning to stay in Vermont, why are you worried about radon in The Villages?
In Vermont, you probably won't be wearing sandals a whole lot.
People there could probably be of more help with suggestions about what works in a colder climate.
