444 miles on my last running shoes!! - Lemmy.world

I have never gotten 400 miles out of a shoe. I’m 190lb runner and have gotten as low as around 200 miles and looking back through my Garmin retired shoes managed 370 once. At any rate, shout out to these Brooks Ghost 13’s :) Normally something (knees) let me know it’s time to switch. These I retired due to running out of sole! At any rate, 95 activities, and 444 miles is a record for me! [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/75f4f3dc-12b6-40a3-96f6-886a9f6ea20d.jpeg]

Wow that's something! I have Asics Gel Kayano with more than 700 km - not sure I should get new ones, but my knees are fine and I don't feel any discomfort when running. I'm approx 75 kg.

Ya, I wasn't having any real issues, just busting through the sole a bit on my heels. Just figured it was time to swap to the next set.

Longest i've ever gotten out of a pair was around 1600km on a pair of triumph 18. Admittedly those were used a bit too long, although having a rotation helped. At the end i just used them for occasional shorter slow runs.

On average l try to get at least 1000km+ out of each pair.

Wow

Yep, I also tend to get around 1000km from my shoes. Usually my signal to retire a pair is pain in the left toe ball (is that the right term?) after a run.

I have some Triumph 20 at the moment that I really like. Looking to get some Speed 3 on sale to rotate between the two.

What do you notice with your knees when a shoe is done?

To me, it seems like around the 300 mile mark, the shoes are still usable but less forgiving. For example I might start experiencing pain in my right toe with older shoes, but it's my fault for running funny. I've gotten 6-700 miles out of shoes before at 190lb, and now I've just stopped tracking mileage on them. Mostly I switch them out when I'm afraid they will break or fall apart somehow mid-run.

I'd have no rubber left on the bottom!
