Runners-How many miles do you put on your shoes?

Recommended Posts

The shoes can also give you pain from being a poor fit for your foot.

I once developed severe pain from a new pair of shoes that were my size, but just the wrong fit.

Get new shoes and more importantly get some advice on the correct fit for your foot shape.

i second what you said -- it might just be the shoe that is the wrong fit for your foot. That can make a world of difference. You may need different support than that shoe provides. However, i usually replace me shoes after 6 months -- and I run about 20 -25 miles a week. And then keep them around for kicking around the house shoes.

What you've described sounds exactly like the symptoms I get right about when I have to buy a new pair of running shoes. If you don't have proper cushioning, the impact of your feet hitting the ground will do damage either to your feet, ankles, shins, and/or knees.

To answer your question, I try not to go more than 400 miles on my shoes if I can help it, and that's assuming I'm running regularly. If they're in storage for any period of time, I can assume I'll get fewer miles out of them.
