How Many Miles Before You Replace

I'm curious to know how many miles you guys get out of a pair of running shoes before replacing them. I've been tracking my mileage and I'm around 350-400 miles on my current pair. They still feel okay, but I don't want to risk injury by pushing them too far. Do you replace based on mileage, how they feel, or a combination of both? Let me know your approach!

I'm a high-mileage runner, and I typically replace my shoes every 500-550 miles. For me, it's a combination of both mileage and feel. If I notice a significant drop in cushioning or support, I'll replace them regardless of the mileage. But if they still feel good, I'll push them to the higher end of that range. 350-400 miles is a good benchmark, but it really depends on your running style, terrain, and personal preference.

Good point about running style and terrain, I'll consider that too.

350-400 miles is a good benchmark, but you're right to consider other factors. I replace mine around 400-450 miles, but it's mostly based on how they feel. If I start to feel aches in my knees or ankles, it's time for a new pair. Terrain and running style definitely play a role too.

I'm a low-mileage runner, but I replace my shoes every 200-250 miles. For me, it's all about feel - if they start to feel flat or uncomfortable, it's time for a new pair. I'd rather be safe than sorry and risk an injury.

That's a good point about feeling. I'm similar, I go by both mileage and feel. For me, it's around 300-350 miles, but if I notice they're not providing enough support or cushioning, I'll replace them sooner. Better safe than sorry, right?

I'm a high-mileage runner and I replace my shoes every 400-450 miles. I use a combination of both mileage and feel. If I notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support, I'll replace them, regardless of the mileage. Better safe than sorry, especially with the high risk of injuries.
