Rotating running shoes??

Abakan

What an interesting thread. I only have one pair of running shoes which have done about 300 miles now and I'm starting to get knee issues so maybe it's time for me to get new ones and start rotating them and then get another new pair as soon as finances allow.

I have one pair of New Balance Minimus Trail 10v2s that I use for trail runs - which are not a huge part of my running right now.

Other that that, I always have one pair of my main shoes - Vibram FiveFingers SeeYas.

I currently have three pair of them... but I don't rotate them. Two pair are on the shelf in their boxes waiting their turn.

The current pair of SeeYas is pushing 600 miles on them, so they will probably get retired in the next two to three months.

Because there is no cushioning to break down, I've never worried about rotating my shoes.

I am ramping up my mileage in prep for my first marathon, so as I get to 40+ miles per week, I am going to start looking for a more cushioned (but still minimalist or zero drop) shoe to rotate in and see how it goes.
