I got some shoes a few months ago at Fleet Feet — giving them a shoutout because they have employees who generally really know their stuff — and the guy said he’s seeing running shoes last about 6 months with regular wear, and you could maybe stretch it to a year with some insoles. And these are the good supportive ones, so I can’t even imagine what the Vans and Sketchers are doing to your musculature.
Shoes, almost regardless of price are rated for about 400 miles. That seems like a lot to most people who don’t actually walk or run every day. I do about 400 miles in three months, many people do it much more quickly. Certainly the shoes can last longer, but If you have excessive pronation, like me, one side wears out more quickly making the problem worse.
