I used mine for nine months, it was hard for me to part with them. In them I raised my pt score by nearly 100 points. Thankfully, I found a very similar shoe.

Since I retired PFC (Join to see) Running Shoes, have become my vice... I have 20 or more pairs... to match every school outfit I have... I don't run much, but when I did, I replaced them about every 6 months. Most running experts would recommend you buy two of the same pair, and rotate them every other day, and replace them every 6 months. Running shoes, for me, are my fashion statement now.

Uh, when the Guru of Running, Jim Fixx, died of a heart attack while running in 1984, I sold all my jogging shoes in a garage sale. Hell, I said, if those things'll kill him, I don't stand a chance of surviving!!!

I buy a new set every 350 miles. Convert the old pair to walkers.

For me this is about every 4 months (3 a year).

Shoes are good for 1 "season" which for most people is about 4-500 miles. At that point the "innards" are dead, and need to be replaced. If you start feeling your feet, ankles, knees hurt... ask yourself when the last time you swapped shoes was.
