    Depends on the shoe. The more cushioning in the shoe, the more you'll notice the breakdown after about 300-500 miles, and the more often they need to be rotated and changed. I wear minimalist shoes, so I haven't bothered changing mine, because they didn't have any cushioning to begin with.

    I probably am on the cheaper side of things.

    I have two pairs of shoes that alot of people don't consider to be "running shoes" even though they are marketed as such.

    I've got a pair of Nike Dual Fusion ST, and Nike Dual Fusion ST2. I got both of them very early this year, but took about 3 months off from running, and have no idea how many miles I have on them...I just know about 3 months before my marathon I want to have another pair of shoes. I'm going to keep track of mileage here shortly

    They still feel comfortable, ST's more than the ST2's and I got the ST's first. They cost about $110 TOTAL....both pair. Which is part of the reason I think alot of runners don't consider them running shoes.
