Shoe Rotation?

How will rotating shoes allow them to last longer? It makes no sense.

If your shoes have to be discarded because of holes in the upper, rotating shoes can help them last longer. Wet fibers are weaker and tear faster, so if you are running doubles or over wet terrain, rotating shoes will make them last longer because every run will be in a drier shoe.

ASICS for the roads

PUMA trail shoes for the trails

I'd say it's about a 40 (roads)/60 (trails) % split

I currently have 6 pair of shoes in my rotation. All different styles, many different brands. Some are very old but still in the rotation. I rarely use the same pair on consecutive days.

Nike Peagus One day

Nike Lunar Elite the next

I just like not having to buy as often ( I just spend more at once)
