Reader Submissions: When Do You Replace Your Running Shoes?
If you're like me, buying running shoes is never easy and I'll put it off as long as possible. But running in old shoes doesn't do us any favors. As running shoes break down, they lose both stability and shock absorption capacity. This increases the stress on both muscles and joints and may set you up for an overuse injury.
To avoid many running injuries, experts recommend you replace your running shoes every 320 to 550 miles, but how many of you do that? Do you even know how old your running shoes are?
Show us your old running shoes and tell us how you know when it's finally time to say goodbye.
