Running Shoes : Question and Answer

A:

Nike and Brooks both estimate that a running shoe will last about 300 – 400 miles depending on the amount of cushioning it has. Other experts disagree on a specific mileage and say that the lifespan of the shoe also depends on the runner's weight and running style. Basically, we'd just suggest listening to your body, and, if you don't feel like your shoes are providing enough shock absorption, it is probably time to replace them. Some runners might feel ready to replace their shoes after 300 miles, while others may keep them for 500 miles or more.
