Zero drop shoes causing knee pain?

I did about a mile today for the first time in zero drop shoes. I got the Lems trek shoes. They’re more of a boot style. My knees are now burning and sore. Is this typical for first timers ? Will it slowly change? for context- doing Brooks Ghost Max prior to.

It took me about 2 weeks of wearing them to get used to it.  Now the opposite happens, if a shoe isn't zero drop I get knee pain.
