How To Know When It’s Time To Replace Your Running Shoes:
“Running pains slowing you down? Getting the right shoe for your running style is the best way to reduce pains, increase endurance, and make your runs more enjoyable. Lucky for you, Zappos.com Sole Obsession Footwear has one of the largest selections greatest brand of running shoes available! Running shoes need to be replaced between 350 to 500 miles of use. Your style of running, body weight and what surfaces you run on will affect how many miles you can get from a pair of shoes. There are a few ways to check for signs of wear in your shoes. Start by looking at your shoes from behind. If the outsoles are worn down on one side or the other, then it’s probably time to replace your shoes. Next, flip the shoe face down and check for wear areas on the bottom of the sole. Look for excessive wear and tear on the heel and forefoot. The midsole layer provides support and cushioning and is normally the first part that wears out. Alternating between two pairs is a great way to maximize the life of your running shoes. By allowing 48 hours between use of each pair gives the midsole cushioning enough time to recover their shock absorption properties.”
