I recently replaced<\/strong> my running shoes with a new pair because of joint\u00a0pain when running. I decided to go with a new pair that has lots of cushioning. Now they are my favorite pair of shoes to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should replace your shoes with foam midsoles between 6-12 months with daily use. Leather shoes with replaceable soles can last 5 years or longer. Shoes should be replaced when they cause discomfort, impact joint health, get contaminated, or become a visual eyesore. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some shoe owners will not get the most out of their shoe life because they only use their shoes a few times and then buy a new pair, while others neglect to retire their shoes even after it starts to affect their health. Choosing the best time to replace your shoes<\/strong>\u00a0will keep you and your wallet happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to most shoes, you’ll want to consider how long the sole of the shoes will last. Most soles can last for years if used infrequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those using their shoes daily, you will likely need to replace your shoe somewhere between 6 – 12 months of use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why? Shoe midsoles compress<\/strong> and degrade over time<\/a> (article). They will not support your foot the same way they are meant to after long, repeated daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rubber bottoms will also start to wear and expose the\u00a0foam underneath, providing less traction and more slippage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The average outsole might last between 300-500 miles. What you do with your shoes makes all the difference. When considering how to gauge the best time to replace your shoes, think in terms of how often your shoes are used each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walking once a week for 5 miles <\/strong>will give your shoe a likely maximum lifespan of almost 2 years<\/strong>. If you walk 5 miles a day<\/strong>, then your shoes might last 3 months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I recommend buying two pairs of the same shoe if your plan is to do a lot of walking. (See Link – Buying Two Pairs …<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you wear dress\u00a0shoes, your soles and upper can last for years when they are made of leather. You’ll need to consider how often they are used and how they feel on your\u00a0feet over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
