One question we often get from customers is “are my shoes worn out?” It can be hard to tell, but often if they’re 6-12 months old, it may be time for a fresh pair. Here are some signs you might notice when your shoes are no longer suitable for running or walking.
4 SIGNS IT’S TIME TO REPLACE YOUR SHOES:
- You have new aches and pains.
- Your feet get extra sore after a run.
- The midsole feels tough.
- The treads are worn out.
The cushion on most running and walking shoes last about 300-500 miles. If you’re walking or running regularly, or even standing all day at work, the cushion can wear down quickly and no longer be as supportive as it once was. Take a look at the chart below to see how many miles your shoes have on them.
If you’re not tracking mileage on your shoes, you can use the Strava app (for free!). Track your shoes on every run or walk you use them, so you know when it’s time for a new pair.
If your shoes are on their last leg, stop by Run Hub and let us help you out! If you have a reward account, every $300 you spend on regularly priced merchandise earns you $30 off your next purchase.
