13 y/o Lab with soft feet condition that’s getting worse

I have a 13 year old lab in good health…clean labs, good weight, mild arthritis. She developed soft feet(pasterns) about a year ago in one foot, did not seem to bother her at that time. She has recently developed it in the other. It seems to really be bothering her. She receives Glucosamine daily and is on a regimen of adequan. Is this a typical occurence with age.
No known trauma. Is there anything that can be done. I have seen braces or splints..could these be helpful?
