How many pairs of running shoes should i have at once?

I run a few marathons per year. As you can imagine, I go through a lot of running shoes. Sometimes, I even get shoes for free. And yet I have never had more than two pairs of running shoes that I actively wore, and I think this is true for most people.





Every runner is different, and it really does not matter how many pairs you have, as long as you have one good one for the day that you're running. Some people recommend switching between two pairs of shoes so that you don't get used to running a single pair of shoes, thereby risking a overuse injury. Personally, I think that this is a propaganda started by shoe companies to sell shoes. By just running on different courses, you work different leg muscles.





Others have a pair of training shoes and race shoes. The training shoes are heavier, and they are used for your training runs. The race shoes are lighter performance shoes for your races. The idea is that when you train in heavier shoes, on race day when you wear the lighter shoes, you will be able to run faster. I tried this before, but I did not see a dramatic difference, and I rarely hear from anyone that this strategy works wonders.





In the end, the best strategy I settled upon is the following. I have a new pair of shoes and an older pair of shoes. When my new pair of shoes come close to retirement, it becomes my older pair of shoes and I get a new pair. My older shoes get donated to a charity at a local running store. By always having two pairs of shoes, I always ensure that if one pair becomes "un-runnable" (e.g., it becomes wet or dirty), then I can always wear the other ones.





I see no reason to have any more, and I have yet to hear a good reason for needing any more.

Most I know have five, yes, five and they are the same make and they rotate it.
Reply:If you run track, I would have two. Spikes and tennis shoes. Also if you do both distance and sprints, you could have distance spikes and sprinting spikes, so 3.
Reply:3 seems like a good number. Because you don't have to worry about running out and getting some every time the shoes wear out. So good luck with the running.
Reply:69 thousand
Reply:Well, I would say two at a time would be enough...


This will ensure you that rain or shine, you will always have an extra pair of shoe...





take care
