Would love to hear general thoughts about how runners should adjust their shoe purchases based on their body weight. I'm curious about how things like ideal midsole material vary depending on the size of the runner. And what about longevity? Is it fair to assume their a 130 pound runner would get more miles out of a shoe than a 180 pound runner?
Yea I’m a little under 160 and my shoes last about 300 miles if I’m lucky
I run on all concrete and I’m kind of a pounder when it comes to my footstrike
I know when I need new shoes if I suddenly get plantar issues
I don't think that that is a fair assumption to base this solely on weight. Heavier people are generally taller people. Taller people generally have bigger feet. If your feet are bigger, then your weight is spread over a larger area of shoe. So then using BMI, which is like a height normalized measure of weight, may be more appropriate.
I would guess that anyone throwing trainers out before 400-500 miles is just doing so because they've read that they should do so. I am heavy by weight and BMI, but I have no problem getting at least 500 miles out of a pair of trainers. I have big feet, but probably just scaled fairly normally by height.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
