I have 150mi in mine. I'm a bit heavier than the average triathlete so I usually change them out between 250-300mi. I usually keep multiple pairs to cycle through them.
Just replaced mine with about 950 in them. Honestly didn't think they even really needed it (benefits of being light and a very neutral runner), but felt like I was tempting fate! 😅
After about 800 km I retire them to orienteering, where they serve until they physically break down (or become so dirty that I don't want to put my feet in them anymore), which is usually quite quickly in these thorny forests.
That's a good point. The deals I see on running shoes at Ross, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx are "off the hook!" I'd have to be an idiot to turn down the opportunity to buy a comfortable pair of running shoes that sell for under $40.
... I've been using the same runners for 7 years. I mostly cycle but I had a period of a year or 2 with them when I was running a lot. Lately I've been getting into hiking and a bit of running and I've been feeling like maybe my shoes are causing some foot and knee soreness so I looked up this video. Well. No wonder I've been feeling more sore than I expected after running lately. I never knew you had to replace shoes this often!!
According to my Strava I have done about 1300km in my shoes. They look only a little worse then Mark's, although I am probably running at much slower paces. This video was right on time as I am considering buying a new pair and this made me decide to go through with it :)
Really good advice! I checked my "go to" trail shoes (they have done around 250 miles and just shy of a year old) and they have indeed the tell tale fine horizontal lines along the side of the mid sole and the heal counter has worn away somewhat on the left foot (I am also left footed too). Oddly enough after my 15km yesterday the inner side of my left knee aches. Straight into the recycling bin for those shoes! 😀
Glad this video was helpful to you! If you're looking into getting some new shoes we have a video which may help! 👉 th-cam.com/video/2O8nANEM9hI/w-d-xo.html hope it helps! 🙌
Good idea to have an arsenal of shoes. This way it's easier to notice when one shoe is ready to find a replacement. Not all shoes are created equal. I have shoes that are done after 300 km and shoes that have done more than 1500 km! But I don't just throw out my old shoes. I keep them to do some easy running until they get fully retired. Some of my shoes only come out every second week :-)
I get new shoes at around 200-250 miles. I still use the old shoes after this, but only for things like walking (which I do quite a lot). At some point the wear and tear accumulates and I retire them to working in the garden. By then they look pretty bad, but I hate parting with old shoes.
I'm confused about how to physically test, at 5:04 you first seem to be bending the back part of the shoe up (from the midsole while holding the front of the shoe)? This is contrasted with at 5:10 you're just squeezing into the sole at the heel? These are two different tests right?
Thanks for the top toe hole on the shoe comment. I thought it was just me and I have been trying different sizes and shoes to fix the issue. Under Armor Bandit 3 works for me.
I weigh too much for minimalist shoes, especially for street running. I developed the worst case of plantar fasciitis of the heel and arch of my left foot from a simple 7-mile run on the street, and it took me 18 months to recover from it. Having so little cushioning on my feet was a big mistake.
I’m no wiser after this video than i was before. I use tread wear as an indicator and replace my shoes about 3 times a year. I normally run 30 to 40 miles per week, so i think i replace them at roughly 500 to 600 miles.
Good video for raising awareness of worn shoes. Got injured possibly from a shoe with a softer inner heel section compared to the rest of the shoe. Could be worth highlighting getting shoes with matching material across the sole of the shoe for better wear patterns. I am now using the Vivobarefoot so most of these tests would fail them even as new. I got them to strengthen my feet as i overpronate from an unsupportive ball of the foot, just one side. It helps much like barefoot walking from your earlier video because i can feel where on the heel i am striking to match left and right and how the foot moves through the stride. Perhaps this might be useful for understanding pronation in a future video? Did notice you missed out the insoles, given they have a lifespan maybe you could highlight them in a video esp if they correct pronation issues?
Hi, i weigh 120kg (250lbs) and fairly obese @1.86m (6ft) i have been running with Brooks Adrenalin GTS 17. I did 157km (±100 miles) on it before i started experiencing joint pain. II then bought (Neutral shoe- i have lost 35kg 82lbs and still losing)/ New Balance 880 V7 and started experiencing joint on 137km (85miles). I run average 3x per week between 5 and 12km (3.5-8 miles) per run and the odd 10km and 21km races every 3rd week. It comes down to replacing shoes every 5-6 weeks. This is ridiculously expensive. What shoe would you recommend to get more mileage on? I run (6:12min-6:45min /km) or (10min/mile)
Candid question, I have an old pair of running shoes (4 years old) that I only used seldomly, I do not believe I have reached 500 Ks in them. Does time also affect the properties of the midsole? Or is the wearing only from mechanical constraints? Thanks!
I’m getting shin splints when running more than 1.5 mi and my feet are cramping. Is this because I’ve been out the game? Or my shoes are wearing out? I’ve been running for a month consistently but took about 4 months off running.
I seem to be the same the 361 i had lasted to about 230 miles (about 2 1/2 months) before i noticed my feet both constantly slipping inwards. i'm guessing stability type shoes will wear quicker though.
Well done guys great video and very informative....see it alot in the chat rooms runners asking when they should ditch their fav running shoes....nicely done
So as it’s the midsole to go either first or as with some trainers even needing a 24-48 rest to uncompress it kind of make sense to go for a minimalist shoe like the Vivo Bare Foot. I’ve been warring a pair on and of this year but now that my Altra Paradigums has died after km700/9 months I feel like Vivos will last longer.
I am not quite sure about replacing shoes plainly after 1-1 1/2 years if still mint with low mileage. Most advice I have heard in this regards is 2 years.
Hi team and running fellows. I highly recommend reading the very short story The Sound Of Summer Running by the great Ray Bradbury. It's a 5 minutes read. You will all understand, we've all been there
I got a pair of used Adidas Ultra Boosts for about 20% the new price. It looks like new, some midsole compaction in the outer heel strike corner and some wear on the sole, especially ball of the foot. It feels nicer than my cheaper new shoes, and works great for working on my feet for long shifts. I even did my first 5k in them. Next step is watching for half off sales of colorways and styles I like; there currently is a pink and white version for $90, but the size is half a size bigger and the color and style isn’t my preference. I’ll wait. I’ve grown up in Saucony mostly, but my feet grew and now that brand doesn’t feel as perfect anymore. Plus, have you ever tried to find size 11 women’s on sale? Some stores don’t even carry 11!
Somehow, each pair of my running shoes manages to last me about 800 miles (1,300 km) . I weigh 230 pounds (16 stone), so each of my shoes withstands a great deal of force striking the ground. The shoes I wear are medium-thickness Asics, Nike, Saucony, Brooks, and Under Armour. I think that many popular brand shoes are being "built to last" these days, much to the detriment of the manufacturers. Every running magazine, and running shoe store employee will tell you to replace your shoes every 300 miles (480 km), but I think this is "wishful thinking" on their part. Most runners don't keep track of the "cumulative" number of miles they run per month. They simply wait for the shoes to become worn to a particular point.
I’m getting shin splints and could feel pressure on the ball of my foot when running uphill. But I do have 440 miles on them so time it makes sense that they need replaced
Back when I was in college I only ran on the treadmill and I find I got around 4000km before I needed new ones when running out side I needed new one around 2500-3000km
I think they are meant to state when videos contains sponsored content. We’ve seen Mark’s cloudflow shoes before. If they do have cloudflow sponsorship, it’s not very clear.
The 300-500 mile estimation worked before I started getting heavier lmao. I don’t think I’ve scratched 300 miles yet, but my shoes feel worn out quicker since I’m 30-40 pounds heavier than before.
I used 3 consecutive pairs of the same new balance model... after the first pair I tried a different one and instantly got injured and returned to the older model but now this model is too old and there is no longer available. I’m 2/3 of the life of my last pair and have prepared a new model, is there a transition switching from new to old shoes to adapt to this new shoes?
When do you have to replace your barefoot running shoes? Since they don't have a midsole that isn't a factor. They will always twist and bend easily. I wore out a pair of vibram Bikila Evos within 450km because of their outer sole construction with soft nobs that wear out quickly. Now I have the vivobarefoot primus light, I can't imagine that sole wearing out before there is no more rubber left.
Good video but I think ON shoes aren't the best kinda shoes to shoe this off since they're just very unconventional and don't even really have a midsole in the traditional sense. I think for the sake of simplicity you should've just gone with a conventional Asics or Brooks or whatever where the midsole is more easily distinguishable
I've been watching this because I have 650km on my ghost 12s ... I usually run in adrenaline range but I've defo found the ghost have lasted better. I was going to retire them this week after I bought a new pair but I think now I'll just rotate them around the 3 pairs I have.... My adrenaline 20 at 350km look slightly more worn than my ghost12s at 650km .... I'd like to know at what km or miles you did retire them .... thanks
Is there actually any evidence that older shoes lead to injuries? A well researched article I read recently suggested not. When newer and older shoes were compared it was surprising to see the older ones actually had better results for things like flexibility and cushioning.
I am wondering where you get your estimate of 450-600 km from. Runner's World puts 1250 km as the limit. Strava says you should change your shoes after 500-800 km. So I think your estimated distance is too low. Throwing shoes away too early is bad for the environment, because we waste valuable resources.
Donate new shoes, don't use unfortunate people for dumping junk items and pretending how good you are. Don't be cheap in other words and in many meanings of term "cheap".
Mate, donating shoes that have been run in for 750km or so is an absolute dick move. If you're gonna donate something, use new or good condition items, not things that are at the end of their life.
@@hobbitilius well just think. If you're homeless and have no shoes would you rather have a pair that has worn cushioning or walk around barefoot. still will be a vast improvement
@@lisapet160 Unkind comment - most runners which are no longer suitable for racing or.training are perfectly good for walking and leisure use and many will be expensive brands. I continue to use older running shoes for walking etc. Recycling shoes is a good idea. These shies are not as you put it 'junk shoes'
You dont wait 12 to 18 months to change running shoes. In reality, running shoes last less than they are marketed. Daily trainers are really only good for 300 miles and nowhere even close to 12 months. You should get new running shoes every 3-4 months.
How many miles have you done in your current pair of running shoes?
I have 150mi in mine. I'm a bit heavier than the average triathlete so I usually change them out between 250-300mi. I usually keep multiple pairs to cycle through them.
Just replaced mine with about 950 in them. Honestly didn't think they even really needed it (benefits of being light and a very neutral runner), but felt like I was tempting fate! 😅
After about 800 km I retire them to orienteering, where they serve until they physically break down (or become so dirty that I don't want to put my feet in them anymore), which is usually quite quickly in these thorny forests.
I have 1 mile on my new shoes I got last year:) Can't get motivated to run when I have a perfectly good bike.
5k and 10k - two brand new pairs, just tested them on a pavement and in the woods. Thanks for timely tips!!!!!
Whenever there's a massive clearance discount, its time to get a new pair or two.
That's a good point. The deals I see on running shoes at Ross, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx are "off the hook!" I'd have to be an idiot to turn down the opportunity to buy a comfortable pair of running shoes that sell for under $40.

Don't throw your old running shoes away. I use my old running shoes as daily walking shoes.
I use my old running shoes for yard work.
Yea I’d rather use old running shoes for work or something as they look too fucked up to look nice in.
It doesn't work for me. If they're hurting when I run, they're no good for walking either, except for short distances or indoors

Really depends on how much you run, and your pronation. 12 - 18 months is a good estimate if you are a lower distance runner and use another pair.

What's the best brand for weightlifting and running? My foot is narrow but upper toe area is wider
The intro hit way too close to home - I need a time machine to travel back to buy another 20 pairs of Zante V1s!

Running on a cheese grater vs a rubber surface. Makes sense!

Could you tell me what make are the shoes you are using in the video please?
Does GTN have a sponsorship from those shoes? Or is it just your favorite brand?
They sure do. That's probably why she was hiding the adidas stripes on the back pair.

Miguel,
This is a very good point and one for another video I feel. Just start with walking and wearing a new pair slowly if you can.
I always start feeling pain after 300 miles butI dont want to let go because they are discontinued. 😢
When do you have to replace your barefoot running shoes? Since they don't have a midsole that isn't a factor. They will always twist and bend easily. I wore out a pair of vibram Bikila Evos within 450km because of their outer sole construction with soft nobs that wear out quickly. Now I have the vivobarefoot primus light, I can't imagine that sole wearing out before there is no more rubber left.
Valentin, a good question and one that I am sure Vivo could answer. I am not an expert in this so let me know what you find out.
Just wear them until they fall apart. Seriously, there’s no other reason for replacing minimalist shoes
I see you aren't using the top lace hole. Is there a reason why not? I find it makes the shoe a bit more secure and comfortable.
I use the "loop technique" on those holes.
Hi Pienimusta, Very observant, those shoes are actually a new pair that i haven't worn or laced yet.
Best advice I’ve seen on wear of trainers. Keep up the great work heather.
Thanks Steven!
Good video but I think ON shoes aren't the best kinda shoes to shoe this off since they're just very unconventional and don't even really have a midsole in the traditional sense.

Chuau, In the UK there are clothes and shoes banks you can drop unwanted footwear at.

Can worn out shoes cause runners knee?

I am wondering where you get your estimate of 450-600 km from. Runner's World puts 1250 km as the limit. Strava says you should change your shoes after 500-800 km. So I think your estimated distance is too low. Throwing shoes away too early is bad for the environment, because we waste valuable resources.
please dont just throw out your shoes, if they're still whole atleast. Donate them to a good cause

I hope that blue shoe is not for running on gravel trails; I can imagine stones getting in those 'loops' in no time #ouch
wait what? at my local running store they said shoes can last up to 1000 km!
Yes up to 1000 Km is around 600 miles so up to 600 miles isnt too far from the 500 miles used
My heels almost always go bald first straight across
You dont wait 12 to 18 months to change running shoes. In reality, running shoes last less than they are marketed. Daily trainers are really only good for 300 miles and nowhere even close to 12 months. You should get new running shoes every 3-4 months.
Me 4yrs to change my shoes
I used my Umbro till it had a hole in it... LoL... absolutely not recommended
I change shoes at least every 6 months and run 80 to 100km a week.

I love you
Barefoot running solving it
For me it is very simple, when i can afford a pair #PoorAF
rather spend some thoughts on your running style, than on shoes: Watch "Born to run" documentary and reconsider your running.
That book was debunked many years ago. There is some one who still believe that bunch of nonsense?
Could you tell me what make are the shoes you are using in the video please?
