| Yes that is about right,
I change shoes about every 4 - 5 months. I never had any issues or serious injurys as well. I can't say that is is becasue of the shoes but I feel It works so I am keeping on it. I know what its like to feel the pinch from the old wallet becasue I am shelling out 100.00 every 4 months for a pair of running shoes... Sometimes sooner, becasue I just start putting in 60 plus miles a week. So. I save a pair of fresh shoes for my Marathons and I run in my old but still firm shoes. But I look at like this people have there hobbies or vices, and most hobbies and vices cost something, so this is my dues I guess. I am in the military so I can offset the cost by saying it is my gym membership fee... since I get that free. It basicaly is how you wear out the shoe and the sole of the shoe along with the tread. The insole is good to change out when you change your shoe, I say test it out keep doing what works... If the shoe and the sole is worn down alnog with the tread it is time to get a new shoe... the insole not going to make an impact... If you have a running store near by or some one to look at your shoe and they can shoe you how you are wearing your shoe down.... and when it is good to replace them. Insoles should be changed out about every 8 - 10 months for normal wear and tare, but how normal is a competive runner durability even that of a Marathoner. I am not about speed or being fast. I want to prolong my running life as long as I can. I just started 3 1/2 years ago and I am 31 now so I want to run until I am in my 70's... Hell make it to the 80's if I can... |

| I couldn't agree more, Get the shoe that fits the best for you... I have ran a few marathons and halfs and did it in all types of shoes... Bottom line I still love my Pearl Zumiiiiii's The Float... it has the best fit, comfort and design for my feet, joints, and all the above... Also what makes them so great for long distance is the inseam is not intrucive like most shoes.
A great pair of shoes will make the world of diffrence. Replace them every 250 - 300 miles or if your really hard on them. Get the shoe that is geared to the style of running you do. Don't run on Nike Free's for a Half or an entire Marathon unless you can do it barefoot, if you can do that then you are ina diffrent class then average people. I know a guy who ran on old shoes and crappy support, he did run a sub 2:35 Marathon but he can barely jog on his feet now, becasue he never changed out his shoes... |
