Your walking stride is usually a little different than your running stride. By wearing your running shoes as your normal shoes, you are incraesing the wear in them.





However, once you have worn them out and no longer run in them, go ahead and use them as everyday shoes. Walking doesn't put much stress on your feet, so that is ok.





I never understood why people want to do this. They are your running shoes for a reason.
Reply:I never wear my running shoes other than to run in.





Doctors are much more expensive than another pair of sneaks and if you wear out your running shoes and shred your knees you'll find out what I'm saying is true.
Reply:i wouldnt. you can, but they will wear out faster, get dirty etc. depends how serious of a runner you are. for me, my running shoes are something special. i only wear them to run. sort of a mental thing. when i put them on, my mind changes over to running and thats it. if youre strapped for cash, and cant afford running shoes you can, but they wont last as long. and if you like the way they look, just get a second pair to wear around and keep your other pair for running.
Reply:I have several pairs of shoes, and rotate them so they will not develop wear patterns that drastically change my foot plant when I go from an old pair to a new pair.





After the shoes are not used for running then I wear them for everyday use.





However, you should not wear the shoes you are running in for everyday use, and then train in them later in the day.





There are a limited amount of miles on a pair of shoes and you are shortening their lifetime by walking around in them.
