Subject: RE: How long before shoe replacementDepending on how much I run, maybe once a month or every other month. As I have several pairs in my regular rotation it seems like I have a new pair at least once a month. However, my racing shoes can go several years as I only use them for races and have different shoes depending on the race. I stock up on shoes when there are good deals. I recently bought 4 pairs from Running Warehouse for less than $40 each during a clearance sale. Shoes wear out differently depending on a variety of factors. Type of shoe, weight of runner, running form, terrain, etc., can all play a role. The same shoe that wears out at 200 miles for one person, can last another person more than 500 miles. As such, wear is individual and should be based on your own needs rather than based on the experiences of other people who may not use the shoes exactly in the same manner. |
