• When to Replace Tennis Shoes

---

Though the title mentions trainers, I'm writing this with every type of athletic shoes in mind : tennis shoes, walking shoes, sneakers, aerobics shoes, basketball shoes, and so on. The principle is generally the same. For brevity, lets just refer to them for the most part as trainers.

We all realize that running shoes have a limited lifespan. The majority , however , keep on wearing them until well after their useful life has ended. In my office, I most commonly will have folk let me know that their trainers are many years old BUT ( insert excuse here... ). Some of my favourites, "it fits my feet completely" ( meaning it's broken down ), the heel has worn out just how I like it ( meaning it has got a hole within the shoe ), buying new shoes just bother me ( meaning that I've worn these for so long, the support is useless at this point ), and my most favorite : "they continue to look like new".

Yes, they still look new. When all you do is run on the treadmill, use the elliptical, and some stationary bike, and your trainers have never seen the light of day, of course they will look new. What's the problem is the section you don't see.

The support and function of a running shoe has nothing or little to do with the general appearance of the upper part of the shoe or even the sole. It's the midsole, the part of the sole that is largely not visible from the outside, that has the most function and actually restricts the useful lifetime of trainers. With every walk, the midsole is squeezed and, over time, loses the bulk of its support. I guess the useful lifetime of a running shoe for road runners to be approximately 300 miles. This amount could be barely shorter for larger runners and slightly longer for lighter ones. For those who actually don't run continually, or do other sports and functions that can't me measured by miles, your tennis shoess should be replaced every 5-6 months, depending on the level of use.

So start keeping track of the wear on your shoes. Dedicate 2 shoes ( or more ) totally for exercise to get the most out of its helpful life. You can log your usage in your running book, or even in marker on the sides of the shoe. Mark the date of the jogging shoess on the tongue or the outsole of the shoe so you actually know how old it is.

When you are involved in significant exercise, minor injuries are inevitable. You must do everything in your power to attenuate them. Wearing the correct sneakerss is one straightforward way to help you along.
