    I've always heard that running shoes shoud be replaced at approx 300-350 miles but am not sure whether that is true or just a marketing ploy to make us buy new ones?!

    The number is different for everyone. For me, it's around 500 miles. My feet just start to get sore when they are wearing out. I have a friend who can't go longer than about 250 miles on a pair of shoes.

    I normally get 800+ miles out of my shoes. Replacing them more often than that is too expensive.

    The only place mine are wearing is the mesh tops by my big toe. I just don't know if a "running" shoe is appropriate for me or a walking shoe. I don't full on RUN. I have a slow jog, but one that keeps me in my target heart rate. I've had these current shoes for 6 months.

    Oh an my closest running store is almost 2 hours way and not in an area I typically visit. I do plan a visit there at the end of sept but I am 100 percent certain these shoes will not make it that long.
