Reply:Listen to lestermount...but I have to say it also depends on your age...as I get older, I find that I am replacing my shoes a little sooner than I used to.
Reply:You should get between 3-500 miles. You will know when they are "old" as you should start to get funny "injury" feelings. If you think that you have done too many miles in them then you probably have.
Reply:300 to 600 miles. This depends on your weight, height, running style, surface you run on, the kind of shoe you have, tolerance for pain, etc. Over time the foam in the midsole of the shoe gets compressed and they lose that soft feeling they had when they were new. The shock absorption is also compromised because the foam is no longer doing it's main job which is absorbing the shock that gets transmitted to your legs, back, etc.





Some people can tell when they need new shoes because their legs always feel dead, their joints feel kind of creaky, and they can't recover as easily. Old injuries such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, or hip and knee pain may also rear their ugly heads. Looking at the shoes, sometimes wrinkles in the midsole indicate excessive wear. If you have a whole lot of outsole wear you probably need a new pair of shoes. The outsoles in modern shoes are almost as durable as car tires so they are usually the last thing to go.





Using two pairs of shoes can add about 25% to their lives so if you normally replace a pair in three months you might actually now do it in four or five. Shoes tend to last longer when you let them rest and dry out between runs and it also allows the foam in the midsoles to fully recover.





Heat is tough on shoes. It can cause the glue to soften, the midsoles to flatten, and the shape to curl. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, and don't leave them out in direct sunlight or next to a heat source. Moisture is also hard on running shoes so if they're soaked after a wet run loosen the laces, open the tongue, and remove the insoles to let them dry out. If you do need to clean them do it by hand with cold water, mild soap, and a soft brush. This is better than washing them in a washing machine but if you must put them in your machine be sure to wash them in cool water and NEVER, EVER dry them in the dryer! Just let them air dry slowly and they should be fine.
Reply:Around 400 miles, maximum 450 miles. This is sort of a rule for any shoe.
Reply:I would have to say that 300miles would be the best distance to run in those shoes. I have the same kind of shoe. I have also heard experienced runners and other people say this. I change mine every 300miles and it works out pretty well.
Reply:I usually replace my shoes after about 350 miles.
Reply:8 marathons. and every training in between.
Reply:They say about 500, but it depends on your weight, how you run, and the surface.





Look at the shoes regularly to see how the sole is wearing and if the cushion is still working.





Often there is no cushion left when the soles look good.





It is best to own more than one pair and rotate them daily.
Reply:3 months or 3000 miles, whichever comes first. Which reminds me, I have to go change the oil in my car now.
Reply:I'm wearing a crappy Walmart brand that's lasted me 3 years.They're so nasty looking that I can't even tell what brand they are.They ARE still intact though.
Reply:Aye yeah I had those too, they're still ok after a year but I don't run in them anymore. But I had to wear them for 2 weeks before I started running in them, I always do that tho.
Reply:about 200 miles
