I LOVE shoes so I own 7 pairs that I still rotate through...there are about 3 I don't run in anymore

3, but 1 pair is in the closet as a back up to the pair I wear most of the time. Discontinued model, so I bought 2 at once.

2...no, 3.

I have 3 in good condition and 3 or 4 that are too old to wear regularly. I save the older ones for trail runs, when my shoes will get dirty, etc. I'm thinking of buying a pair of Newton's.

4..but retired a pair this week. I rotate them so they last longer.

Zero. That makes me EXTRA weird. Yeah, I guess I better get some.

2. I used one pair for indoor running(treadmill) one for outdoor, so they are rotated in a sense and maintain a longer life. I've had to throw out a 3rd pair I had .. and soon the 2nd of 1.

I don't think we're all crazy shoe people, lol, I think we just foresee a new pair, buy it and wear out the last bit of life on the older ones.

2 pair & thats all I use them for. I never wear them casually.

I have 7 pairs of running shoes although I only actively wear for running 2 pairs (soon to be 3 as I just bought a new pair) and the remaining 4 pairs I use for when I walk, every day way or ride my bike.

3 pairs, so I can rotate them daily. You shouldn't wear the same shoes (any shoes, really) two days in a row. You should give them a day to "breathe" so they maintain their shape and last longer. Rotating them helps, esp with athletic shoes. Unless you just don't workout daily... in which case, this doesn't affect you.

Me too, but they're pretty beat so I think I'm going to be picking up another pair this weekend.

1, but they're 7 years old, and probably not the best thing for me to be running in....but I have no job and no money, so I'm making it work

2, but I really only use 1. After 6 months, I buy a new pair, the current one gets rotated to the back up and the back up gets donated to charity.

Runnermadre

I have 3, but only one that I actively use. The other two have been "retired" for yard work, etc. :-)

One pair and one old pair just for walking. Then 3 or 4 more old ones that I wear on occasion.

atsteele

Two. One for the weekdays and one for the weekends when I do my long runs. They wear out about the same time that way.

tamcrit

I currently have 4 pair, but I'm getting the 5th pair this weekend. I keep one old pair at my office for lunchtime runs/walks, and use another older pair for trail runs, because I do not want the newer ones to get dirty...lol. I rotate the others so they last longer. I also vary them depending on what type of run I am doing...less support for shorter runs, more support and cushioning for longer runs.

Normally, I only keep one pair a few months, but right now I have two. I typically buy Asics, but got Mizunos. They are okay, but I love my Asics so much I keep going back to them! They just feel the best! Guess I should get me a new pair - of Asics!
