Hikin' Mama Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I read somewhere that you should get a new pair every 300-500 miles. I usually try to last 500. Someone else I know said she gets a new pair every 200. Just curious what the WTRs (Well-Trained Runners) do. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 When my knees hurt. It's a very scientific calculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathmarm Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I replace my shoes when there are more holes than stitching holding them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Around 450 miles. I can tell when my shoes are ready to be replaced; I start having trouble with my feet and ankles. I always get the same brand/type, so I try and catch them on sale on RunningWarehouse.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensonduck Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 300 miles for me. I can feel the sole getting less bouncy and the upper part does not hold my foot as well. It may depend on the shoe you use as well. I run in Brooks Adrenaline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SewLittleTime Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 When my knees hurt. It's a very scientific calculation.This ( which is usually about 350-400) miles. I switched to an asics this last go around from a Brooks. Might get more out of this pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If I waited to buy new running shoes until I'd run 300 miles, I'd still be wearing a pair I bought when I was in high school. ;) (Clearly, I am not the best person to answer your question, but I figured I'd give your thread a bump anyway. :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandylubug Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 200ish. If the support and arch is no longer snug, time to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
