I've been saying that this entire tour. I believe she is wearing arm braces too. Everything points to Stevie dealing with arthritis. Also, it's probably more than just a coincidence that she befriended Reese Witherspoon's mom, Betty, who is an arthritis sufferer and very involved with the Tennesse Arthritis Foundation. The machine (Power Plate) Stevie has talked about that she used prior to going on tour to "get in shape" is also used for arthritis treatments.

As for the Reeboks, hey maybe she's had other options and had boots or shoes made and these just work best for her - or are the most comfortable. Stevie doesn't strike me as the type of performer who would intentionally screw up her well-crafted Margi Kent image to cruise a couple of hours onstage in some butt ugly tennis shoes for no good reason....
