How many miles can a pair of running shoes last?

Answer 1

It all depends on your shoes.

I run Cross Country for my high school. Over the course of 3 years, I have put over 300 miles on my shoes over all kinds of terrain. They still offer good support and comfort, but the tread is wearing down a good bit.

The easiest way to tell how your shoes are wearing is:

1) Inspecting the tread on the bottom of the shoe. If the tread had holes in it or is becoming increasingly flimsy, your shoes probably need replacing. This is a sign of high use, like my running shoes...

2) Consider how your feet fit in the shoe. Not just sizing differences. If your experience feet, ankle, or shin problems (pain) it could be because of your shoes wearing out. The easiest was for a show to wear is in support. If the shoe has slowly lost its original "springy-ness" or comfort in the arch of your feet, chances are, the support in your shoes is becoming inadequate.

Answer 2

Running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles. The exact number depends on a variety of factors like the weight of the runner, the style of running etc.
