This helps me get a bit more miles out of them and I always have a "fresh" pair ready to run. This is good especially during the Summer months when it gets hot and humid down here in Louisiana.

If I start having the slightest knee pain, I note how many miles/months are on my shoes. Would be great if I could be organized enough to note how many miles it takes to kill a pair and subtract 20% to replace proactively. Maybe I'll try to start. One thing I do is take a magic marker and write the "in-service" date on the insole of the shoe (081907 or whatever). the site I use to track bike mileage has a feature where, when you log a ride, it will place that many miles of wear on whatever component you are tracking (tires and chains, mostly). Would be a great to consolidate these tracking functions to add shoes for logging running miles. www.bikejournal.com I second this article. am I a lisa sabin fanboy? jeez.

Since the last shoes I was running in were the last pair before Ironman Canada I knew they had many, many miles on them even though looked perfectly good. I tried to be "frugal" and bought a lower quality Brooks shoe thinking they would work until I was ready to purchase the more expensive ones (I only run in Brooks Glycerin - I love them!). After about 1 month of running on the new shoes I started to get lower backaches and my feet started to hurt just to run on the treatmill. I finally decided enough was enough and we and paid for my new Glycerin 6's. The moment I put them on I knew that's what was wrong. I am wearing the wrong shoes.. after a week of running on the new shoes, no foot ache, no more lower backache, and my legs don't feel nearly as tired on the longer runs. To make these shoes last longer I only run with them - I don't wear them around town or out and about.. I guess that is what the "frugal" shoes are for now!!! I can attest to this for sure Lisa.
