How many miles do you run in your shoes before replacing them? 🏃‍♀

@erockem Год назад

185lbs/84kg Male, 300mi/482km MAX, otherwise knee pain starts.

@mariemuller838 Год назад

I'm a little over 2.5k on my current running shoes. That's the nice thing about vibram they last forever.

@Ajumi- Год назад

i'm pretty average female running mostly on streets or "earthy streets", my shoes retire after 800km, after those they become normal-all-day-hang-around-shoes. I could run 1000km with them or even more, but my health is a higher priority than saving money on short term for me... i mean you will regret it one day, and i want to run till i'm old and rusty. ;)

@toppletournament3739 Год назад

500 miles over 2 years, so I may have kept them too long. Average weight over that time was 52kg though, so not too much pressure on them?

@joshuabennett98 Год назад

300-400 miles, depending on the shoe. Buying a pair about each month on average

@philnguyen9628 Год назад

Tracking via strava makes it so much easier. Rotating between 5 pairs of runners also increases the longevity of each shoe

@Gelaarsderat 7 месяцев назад

This does not increase longevity, as they will still last 800km

@ariftirtoaji2278 Год назад

Try A-B test of the old shoes vs new of the same type at store. Walk, if you can tolerate the difference, then carry on with the old pair. Do this after 600 km at every 100 km increment

@eagleironic5815 Год назад

Ha! I’ve started getting into replacing my shoes more regularly (well somewhat). I got in trouble with my coach for using a pair that was way too old! Alas I didn’t know better, but now I do. Something that wasn’t mentioned in the video, which I think is quite useful is the “bend test’” Grab the heel of your runner and bend the toe the opposite way it would normally bend during running. If it gives easily, it’s probably time to think about a new pair. New pairs of shoes should not have any/or very little give in them went bent like this. This was taught to me by the lovely people at my local running shop.

@Cookiet16 Год назад

When my knees start to hurt is the sign I use to get some new shoes 😅

@edwinduisburg8138 Год назад

As the video suggests there are so many variables due to unique case of every runner. Also, some shoes can last twice the milage under same conditions due to their rubber quality, midsole compound etc. I think its way to know for sure is ask to your own body how it feels after the run.

@dennisk4783 Год назад

Does walking use the same calculation? I'm recovering from an injury, and do a lot of walking...10 km a day. Do those add up the same as running?

@TomGrievee Год назад

I run in alphafly 90% of the time. I have a pair at 1300km, and a pair at 450km and they both still feel great. I can tell the difference between them, but the older pair are still excellent for slower runs and rainy days.

@adrianh.aguilera8171 6 месяцев назад

I never knew these rules! I have been running with the same shoes for more than 10 years 😅 I am getting a new pair today because they went kaput and I was doing some research about the topic

@chrispotterfan Год назад

I run in Shamma Warrior Sandals with 0 heeldrop, 0 cushioning and a super thin sole. Just let your feet do the work, they are build for running. Interestingly running injuries didn't decrease over time and we have the most hightech running shoes now. I always experienced issues with my knees, feet, legs etc. when wearing proper running shoes. Since I slowly swapped to the minimalistic sandals I started to be able to consistantly train. I'm glad I made the change.

@jasonthompson9893 Год назад

Me too, I run in Shamas, Xero and Vivobarefoot etc... I easily get 1000+ KM out of a pair, and it is only because my form is not yet perfect, that I wear through under the big toe. The video says these shoes are needed to protect your body and feet from the stresses of running, I let my feet spread, and the arch, achilles tendon, calf and thigh muscles, with a bent leg and no over stride, take up the load of running... All of this in on tarmac pavements etc. After about two years running in minimalist shoes, I binned my Hokas and other old trainers. Funnily enough, I only ever got knee pain when running in Hokas...

@chrispotterfan Год назад

@@jasonthompson9893 nice to hear that man! I'm often supprised how some runners in trainers never seam to get injured. I always got injured in trainers no matter how slowly I increase my mileage. Only running in minimalistic sandals saved me from getting injured. Maybe I'm gonna run completely barefoot next summer.

@geraldh.3491 Год назад

I was told to alternate runs between 2 or 3 similar pairs, to allow them to “rest”. Does this make sense?

@dylanmorgan5589 Год назад

So my vans from high school with the duct tape upper and the hot glue midsole are bad?

@ollie1317 Год назад

My current shoes are all brooks and on 575,465,91,84 and 39 mile. The ones on 465 were a replacement for the ones on 575 and the 91 have replaced them as the main shoe. I use the older ones for shorter slower runs and rotate them all a bit to give them a rest inbetween which i think helps(only ever 1 run aweek). Its definately nearly time to stop using the 465 mile ones.

@WadeEmmert Год назад

Varies greatly depending on the shoe. I'll occasionally look at the shoe tread to see if it is too worn in places. And if the foam is dead it's probably time for new shoes. On the average though, I'll replace between 350-400 miles. With that said, life is too short to run in shoes you hate. I've replaced some after 150 miles.

@Energymech Год назад

What is your weight?

@jobanski Год назад

Casey naistat once commented on this. He suggested purchasing two of the same pairs of daily trainers, and switching between the two. That being said I have the limit to 450km, and keep track of the mileage on my garmin app.

@rgh622 Год назад

This, also if you start feeling pain in your feet or legs in one pair and not in the other, you know there's a problem.

@iggalan Год назад

Garmin Connect does allow to track usage for shoes, bikes, goggles or whatever equipment. I am mainly a trail runner, my Saucony Peregrine last over 1000 Km no problem, but Hoka Speegoats die after 700 Km. Race shoes last me a couple of years at 10 Km for Olympic triathlon plus some key trainings plus a few 10 Km, 21 Km races; I'm nowhere near 600 Km per year in races. For me the problem is that the mid-sole gets compress over time and when you loose much of the cushioning it has to be replaced, although if I wash them they look fine otherwise.

@codysantor Год назад

I am overweight due to a thyroid condition; 225lbs 5”10. I mainly walk fast, no running, walk about 30 miles a week. I have a pair of New Balance Freshfoam v3 and I wear custom orthotics. In 3 months, the soles are completely worn. 360 miles. Is this due to my weight?

@edwardwilliammorris1340 7 месяцев назад

I have over 1200 miles on my novablast 1's , they are still fine and comfortable for ½ marathons and further . I ran 2 pairs of 1080v11's up 650 miles on each pair but they did feel like they had lost some suspension. If you still have tread left and are comfortable I don't see why 2000 miles isn't possible. ( For reference I'm 5"9 tall , 88kg and 55 years old and run every day so 200+ miles a month ) . I will run for as long as I can , currently average somewhere around 6.3 mph overall . 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ps I really don't believe rotating shoes makes any difference, I tried running in the novablast 1's every day for a month and they where fine , but obviously if your shoes get soaked another pair is handy 👍

@whysosalty Год назад

I use Strava and Sports tracker to keep mileage log. But I have never got more than 350 miles from trainers and most don’t reach that. I average 250 miles from most trainers. I’m a big lad (100kg) and not a slow poke unless injured. So I cycle my trainers and have different ones for terrain, training and racing etc.

@cube2root802 Год назад

I replace running shoes when feel a bit slippery running downhill. It takes around one and half year.

@ThomasWake1 Месяц назад

I am a tall light weight runner so I try to reach the maximum mileage on each pair based on mileage/feeling. At the end of the day shoe companies are going to tell you to get new shoes sooner to boost sales.

My last 4 running shoes lasted for around 1000km each. People ditch them too early IMO

Any tips for how to responsibly dispose of old running shoes? I now have 3 pairs of "gardening shoes" and I don't have a garden! Would donate them to a charity shop but who would buy a pair of running shoes no longer fit for running?! Seems like a waste to be putting a pair of trainers in the bin every 6months or so but don't have space to keep them all?!

@loribiggs7390 Год назад

My local running store recycles them.

@laurenceegan6136 Год назад

I don't usually comment on these types of videos, but I was triggered by the thumbnail, I'll admit. I bought a pair of those shoes - paid off in three installments - and yet the sole came away from the upper on both shoes after only my second run in them. The only thing unusual about that run was a very short descent between a trail and a small field. Much of that run was on asphalt. I concede I had also worn them prior to this when I wasn't running, but I had only owned them for around a month when this happened. To make matters worse, holes appeared in the heel fabric on both shoes soon after. They look good with every pair of trousers I own due to the colour scheme, though - but that's about it.

@XMickyMouseX Год назад

On quality and customer support is abysmal bad. They have an active marketing going though and pretty color schemes.

@laurenceegan6136 Год назад

@@XMickyMouseX What made me go for them was a number of positive reviews from some runners online who perform at a higher level than me. Big mistake. I'll stick with my high street running shoes that cost 60% of the price of those On shoes from now on. PBs over every distance with those.

@Gormador Год назад

I usually start to transition my shoes after 1000 miles. They get the muddy runs until around 1500 miles, when they're retired. Edit: I'm 6'4 230lb and the vast majority of my runs are on road / paved surfaces.

@ricardogoncalves9204 Год назад

@stuart1346 Год назад

I’ve never had shoes last anywhere near that before I have to change. Not because it’s worn and I want new ones but because they split, I always run till they’re dead. My last pair didn’t even make 500K. My current ones are on 800K might make 1000 if I’m very lucky.

@CSWells-uq4jx Год назад

Does anybody here actually get their shoes to 300, 400, 500 miles? I’m curious because mine usually start going bad at about 100-150 miles. Doesn’t seem to matter what brand, doesn’t seem to matter if it’s trail or road. They can be the top end or the economy models. But at about 100 miles I notice they all start losing their bounce, and start getting issues with the upper getting holes, or the outsole rubber losing tread. I’m not a heavy runner. 138 lbs 5”5’. And for the life of me I can’t get my shoes to last even 200 miles without issues( one exception being the hoka Stinson ATR 5s) which I seem to always get to 300/400 no matter how tough I am on them. If they are dirty, I have been washing my shoes about every 6 months in room temperature water and a little laundry soap before air drying them. But I find it hard to believe that that’s what’s shortening their lifespan that much. Oh, and I never wear the same shoes two runs in a row. In fact, I don’t usually wear the same pair of running shoes within a week. I rotate through 4 to 5 different pairs per week.

My last 3 Altra Escalante Racers went to 800, 900 and 1000km (newest to oldest). Used some Merrell Vapor Glove 3s after that which have done 800km.

@solidmaninbox 9 месяцев назад

Four to five-HUNDRED miles??? I don't think ive run that much cumulatively in my entire life and its probably got something to do with the fact my shoes dont hold up. My most recent pair maybe, if I'm being generous had close to a hundred and when I them on this morning I noticed that half of the length of the entire outside of the left-foot shoe has a tear right at the seam where the cloth meets the rubber. They were Topo brand too, so not cheap, and my last pair were asics that had the heel split off of them. Granted its nigh-impossible to find 9.5/10 4E running shoes as it is so that's probably a major factor why they get beat up so fast but my god would it be nice to even find a cheap pair (30 or less) that would last even half of what my last two pair have, and here in the comments I see people talking about owning FIVE PAIR AT ONCE? And here I am nearly ripping my hair out at the stress of a pair of $130 shoes not lasting a full year the way it is. I hate that the world has moved away from local clothiers and shoemakers and it's all mass produced garbage that doesn't properly fit most people but it's what most can afford.
