- In this video you will learn when it is the right time to replace your running shoes, instead of following advice from shoe stores.
The traditional guidelines busted in this video:
1.) You should replace your running shoes every 6 to 12 months
2.) You should replace your running shoes every 400 miles (500-600kms)
3.) You should replace your running shoes when they lose cushioning

I bought some asics they felt cheap and light but when i used them, oh the best
Great video Brodie! I found you after your Doctors of Running interview and I really appreciate the info! If I suddenly start having knee pain after wearing a pair of shoes, when nothing else has changed, I know it's about time to replace them. Same if the tread is really worn down, mostly for safety since I do a lot of trail running. I had a PT tell me that shoes only last 200 miles once and I have found that to not be true at all!
Thanks for watching Laura and sharing your thoughts 🥰 looking forward to hearing your views on future videos 👏
Thanks Brodie! The running store folks tell me that it's time to replace when vertical cracks develop along the sole. My last pair of Asics Gel Kayanos had about 300 miles when they said to toss them after my next race. Since then, I've consistently kept my cadence higher and my current shoes are 200 miles in (same style), and they still look pretty fresh.
Great info. Thanks for sharing. Vertical cracks sounds a bit strange 🤔
I have two pairs of Salomon sense ride 3’s with 600 miles each. They were firm to begin with, I am a forefoot striker with a quiet step, I’m relatively light, and run on trail (pretty slowly). I still feel a bit odd about retiring them, but the fresher upper and unworn lugs on the new pair are making a difference in comfort and performance. My feet and knees etc are equally happy in the old shoes.
Thanks for sharing. Good to hear the feet and knees are happy
My favourite pair of Hoka are quite rockered, and I've replaced them once that rocker has started to flatten off and the shoe overall became a bit more flexible. I'm onto my third pair of the same model and that has happened at different overall distances I think because one I used in summer and then next I used during winter and they spent more time wet and soggy.
Good insights, thanks for sharing 😍
Thanks for this Brodie... this is very useful indeed!!! I'm a great believer in scientific research, though a LOT more needs to be done with larger sample sizes!! HEAPS of people tell me that, especially at my age (60), I need to replace my shoes after 400km... I think that's ridiculous, and also extremely wasteful not to mention expensive!! I just go with how it feels, adapting how I use the shoes as they "feel" older... some midsoles get too soft and mushy, others get too hard and compact, so I use them less and less often, alternating with new shoes. When i get unusual leg pain or joint pain after a 15-20km run in an older shoe, then I start using them just for very short runs or for walking and the gym/treadmill to get the most out of the shoe. So far so good with this approach but if you have anything to add I would greatly appreciate it!! New subscriber with pleasure!! 🙋🏻♀🙋🏻♀
Welcome aboard Bev and thanks for your comment. I look forward to hearing from you in future videos.
It sounds to me like you are on the right track for your tailored approach. Particularly since you haven’t ran into any issues. Well done 👍
@@RunSmarterwithBrodieSharpe Thanks!!
Hi Brodie, I usually wait until there is a severe wear and tear on the sole or the upper, as you say time or mileage don't work for me because I don't train all year around the same intensity
Haha as you can tell from the video I am quite similar 😅
i do rotate a couple of pairs of shoes, but generally replace when the harder sole starts to wear out into the soft stuff, or when my toe starts poking out, or when i feel that after the run , the next day , i am getting pains that with other shoes i dont.
I think the toe poking out is a clear sign 😅
I have two pairs of Brooks Ghosts that I alternate and I think both of them have around 100 miles so far. Some shoes I replace a little early, some I keep for way too long. I'm also a heavy person, so I probably have to replace them much earlier than most people. However, I don't have a ton of money, so I still stretch them out a bit. But really I have no idea or set guideline for when I replace shoes, other than my feet starting to hurt after even short runs.
Good to hear from you David. I agree perhaps your shoes would wear out quicker than a lighter runner, it’s all about finding the right balance. I think continue to make your decisions off how your body feels. Eg. Comfort and symptoms
I usually wait until there are holes in the upper or significant flattening of the cushioning in the sole. BUT. My current pair of road shoes just won't die. It's almost to 1100 miles and going strong. It wasn't my favorite shoe to begin with (kind of ugly, tight on the toe, etc.) and I'm looking for an excuse to replace it, but so far no luck.
Hey Elizabeth, Hopefully your luck turns around 🤣 thanks for watching
Really annoying when upper fails/rips while midsole is fine. No point in promoting mileage when the upper rips half way through midsole life.
Definitely, the way I run though my 5th toe gives the upper a run for their money 😅.
@@RunSmarterwithBrodieSharpe A soft band aid type tape over my socks seems to help
Feel you on that.
Thank you for the videos. Brodie, how do you run or what do you run on to get holes in your upper? I’ve never seen that before.
Good to hear from you Mike. I am a forefoot runner and if my foot were to slide forward in my shoe my fifth toe would have the hardest impact at the front of the show. It is where I get calluses and blisters in the past. Maybe the shape of my foot has something to do with it as the length of my toes are a bit flatter across the top apart from your ‘typical’ pointed shape
@@RunSmarterwithBrodieSharpe aahhhhh! That makes more sense. I usually encounter foam compression being my reason for shoe replacement. I’m starting to transition a bit more to minimalist shoes. Fun!
I’d love to hear what you have to say regarding transitioning between normal shoes and barefoot/minimalist shoes!
Just subscribed, love the amount of detail you put in. Thanks!
Haha you read my mind. This will be out this week!
I'm a cheapskate. My previous NB pair were 10+ years old but just used them for walking until a couple of years ago. This last year started recording usage and got 600 miles on them. Got them replaced when the outsole started to peel off😂😂😂
I am similar 😂
The guy at the shoe store said running shoes should not see there first birthday.
My rule of thumb is if there is a hole in the bottom of the shoe,keep an eye on it. When it gets too big replace the shoes.
I am already skeptical when you mention the ‘shoe store guy’ 😅 who are usually in the business of you buying more shoes
I’m probably too quick to replace because I like buying new ones 😆 whenever I approach about 200 miles I start looking at what comes next. I have a couple in the closet sitting at 0-10 miles just waiting for current shoes to be retired. My Clifton 7s are at ~150 and I’m in my head thinking it’s getting to be about time to replace them because the tread has started to wear down. Is there a sweet spot where having them after a certain part of their life but before they’re worn out is more advantageous performance / comfort wise?
Each to their own 😅😅 thanks for watching
