I know that most of the everyday shoes or trainers last 500 miles, but that includes a shoe for warm-ups and cool-downs as well? Like, a shoe that I only wear for 20 minutes warm-up and 10 minutes cool-down 3 times a week, will it last just the 500 miles?
i think it'll feel worn out whenever it feels worn out... so
Why do you have a shoe just for warmups and cool downs? Why not just use your regular trainer like everyone else? That sounds so bougie
No one changes shoes unless they’re spiking up. If they’re going to run a tempo or something they’ll put on the shoes that they want to run a tempo in and warmup and cool down in those shoes.
They last forever. I still warm-up in the zoom fly ver1. They still look new.
Toss them when you feel like it.
So it's just by feel?
I buy them for easy days or for putting on some miles, they are extremely comfortable but too heavy, so I decided to use them just for a warm-up and cool-down, they work really well for me. Also, I like to have a shoe for every occasion, like an easy day shoe, a warm-up shoe, and a long run shoe, and of course other shoes for track sessions and speed sessions
Mine look like they are going to last forever as well, I used them for a year and a half and they look brand new. I asked this question because a shoe that you wear to do 10 miles at 6:30 or a shoe that you wear for 20 minutes jog it's a completely different impact right?
I never heard of warm up shoes before.
I disagree. People warm up and cool down in their daily trainer even for tempos.

How many people? I would guess barely more than no one.
Why don't you just warm up and cool down barefoot? Your warm up shoes will last a lifetime.
