The traditional recommendation is to change out every 300-500 miles. When exactly you change out is based on feel. Since I already track miles on Daily Mile, I also track my gear there so I know exactly how many miles they've run. But today, I used a new determinant:
Smell.

My current shoes smell SO bad, it was time for a switch. Though they were shy of 400 miles, they've been through a lot. Just carrying them outside to take this picture required holding my breath.
Even I have limits.
You were totally justified in getting new shoes. Those old ones were gross!
ReplyDeleteWow - those are pretty disgusting! Good decision! Plus - you're going to be going to Seattle - you simply CAN'T move the stinky shoes with you . . . puke-o-rama . . . can you imagine opening that box when you go to unpack!!!! Enjoy your new beauties - what kind are they?
ReplyDeleteI used to adhere to every-500-miles but now I go by feel... And am still running in shoes from 2009.
