I saw various articles saying you should get new shoes every 300-500ish miles, but I’m skeptical if they just want you to spend more money by saying that. Do you follow this advice, or do you put more miles on your shoes than this? Do you think 1000 miles on a pair of shoes would be too much?
Edit: Thanks for the feedback everyone. I’ve probably run a few shoes close to 1000 miles without injury, but perhaps I should be more careful as I age.
350-400 miles. If I’m just running 1-2 daily over a year, I’ll lean more towards 400. If I’m running longer runs, like 4-8, then I’ll usually aim for 300 miles.
I don’t just toss my shoes out though, they become chore shoes, beach shoes, hiking, etc. They just aren’t used for running any more.
