Do you keep track of how many miles you run or walk in the shoes you currently own? Do you change shoes when they fall off your feet? Do you walk around in your shoes, even if you are not running?
These are three great questions in regarding shoe health. The answers to them should be as follows;
Do you keep track of how many miles you run or walk in the shoes you currently own?
I hope the answer to this is “Yes”. Why is this important? Just like you have an expected life span, your shoes have an expected life span. By logging how many miles you put on your shoes, you will know when it is time to get another. Do not fall in love with your shoes, when its time to depart, keep them out of the rotation. Besides, you can use them to grocery shop, kind of like retirement for your shoes.
Do you only change shoes when they fall off your feet?
The right answer to this is “No”. You should change shoes ever few hundred to thousand miles, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendation. A great resource for this will be your local running store employee. They should know this information if they worth anything. You should also be able to research this information through the running shoe company website.
Do you walk around in your shoes, even if you are not running?
I hope you answer “No” to this question. Use your running shoes to run in, use other shoes which have reached retirement age for walking around. This way you get to keep your shoes longer and they will probably remain cleaner and fresher for an extended period of time.
