I would do it sooner rather than waiting until it is too close to the half. 2 1/2 weeks away, can you believe it? I guess I better start fixing up my house!! I can't wait!Kelly(M&M)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10667877708280021302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-15723650128416098032009-04-20T20:12:00.000-07:002009-04-20T20:12:00.000-07:00I think the amount of mileage a pair of shoes can ...I think the amount of mileage a pair of shoes can take depends a lot on the height and weight of the runner. The same pair of shoes will wear out more quickly by a taller/heavier runner than a shorter/lighter one. That said, they say most shoes are built to last between 300-500 miles. For me, mine start causing my knees to ache right around 400 miles (I keep a log that tracks the mileage on them), but I've heard of runners who can get away with as many as 700. <br /><br />I'd be suprised if your shoes are already wearing down at only 215 miles. Could it be the socks you're wearing? Maybe you could try lacing them a little differently to see if it helps the sore spots. If nothing works, they'll at least be great cross-training shoes!Tall Girl Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761665201219457247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-30011123428870509022009-04-20T17:44:00.000-07:002009-04-20T17:44:00.000-07:00I'm sure I'm not doing it right, but I have been o...I'm sure I'm not doing it right, but I have been on a 7 - 8 month plan. It seems like my shoes are fine one day, then I'm seriously feeling the pavement the next which pushes me to the store! Probably not the best way to go about it. I have a ton of feet/ankle issues so I'm always concerned about getting new shoes for fear of making it worse.renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10370051382846210196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-45475007449144103082009-04-20T17:20:00.000-07:002009-04-20T17:20:00.000-07:00I go till they feel bad or my feet hurt or I'm tra...I go till they feel bad or my feet hurt or I'm training for a new marathon and I need shiny new shoes to help motivate me.<br /><br />Which means I need to go get some new shoes now. :)Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650933140736435170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-56294187465103441502009-04-20T16:08:00.000-07:002009-04-20T16:08:00.000-07:00i'm sure i don't do it nearly enough (it's like ho...i'm sure i don't do it nearly enough (it's like how i treat my contacts). i just got new ones after one year on the old pair. i promised myself that this time, however, i'd keep track of mileage and be better to my body. i think most shoe people would tell you somewhere between 300-500 miles.<br /><br />maybe you could get a new pair and see if that makes you feel better? if not, go back to the ones you have now for a bit and then in a couple months, you'll have your new pair just waiting.<br /><br />also, if possible, check out the new balance laces. they're the greatest things i've seen in a long time.erinmaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06940081838734194979noreply@blogger.com
