And what type of shoe do you use?
And what type of shoe do you use?
I use either the Nike 30/40's, Pegsus, or Moto's. I get about 400-500 miles on each shoe, though the Pegsus holds up the least of the 3 paris.
Which means I get a new pair of shoes every 6 weeks which is fun, except for the buying them part.
ummm I usualy put about 1,000 miles on my Asics Ultimate 81s.
Im with you, breaking them in is a pain in the ass on my feet as well.

Here's the thing though, I don't think I should have to "break them in". I want my shoes to feel good the moment I put them on and for every run thereafter. Addidas feels so good from the getgo. Whenever I try Nikes, I have to put several miles on them before they feel good. Why do Nike shoes make the bottems of my feet burn?
In high school I put about 1,200 miles on a pair of shoes. Didn't get injured either.
300. Yes I buy a lot of shoes but it's worth it.
In high school I usually put about 1,000 miles on a pair of shoes before buying new ones. But the ones i'm currently wearing having 10,000+ miles on them. I've been wearing them for over two years. I tried switching to new shoes at one point last year, but got a minor knee injury right away, so I switched back and have felt fine since then.
400-500 on Osweegos...best damned shoe on the market and less than $50----where did all the forefoot cushioned shoes go (that means shoes WITHOUT air/gel/wings-for-extra-heavy-days/adiprene/hydroflow in the heel)? Cushioned heels are for fat chicks that mosey between Cinnabon and Mrs. Fields, not runners.
"When aliens come, they'll eat the fat ones first!"
I've put just over 1,000 miles on each of my last two pairs. Puma H Streets.
i have around 1300 miles on each of my 2 pairs or trainers that i alternate. and was wondering, does this increase the risk of injury (having that many miles)? cus they seem fine, but maybe they have lost support or cushioning or something.
I'm wierd, broke, and quite possibly stupid. I probably put around 1000 to 1400 miles on every pair of trainers I own. I literally wear them until there's a gaping hole on them.
Currently I've got a pair of v1 Frees with around 900-1000 miles in them. I've almost worn a hole right through the forefoot and the heel thingy on the back is nonexistant. I know it's stupid but honestly I seriously think that it isn't shoes that cause injuries -- at least not for me.

I bet you're injured now.
I am rotating between 2 Puma H street shoes and have around 1000 miles on each of them. They are starting to come unglued in certain areas but the cushioning is holding up nicely.
I usually keep them for 6 months, no idea of mileage as I run 400m and don't keep track.

Are you kidding?! You have no clue what I went through in trainers! I haven't had any injuries since switching to flats almost 3 years ago. I've put in consistently higher mileage and have run some monsterous PRs. Best I've ever felt and the best change I ever made.
Just briefly checked my running log . . .
I have slightly over 1,100 miles on my H-Streets. I just ordered a new pair yesterday.
I have the same Rockport dress shoes that I have work for work in my office for almost 3 years. Does that help?
where is everyone getting their new h-streets? i've put about 800 miles on mine but too much pavement is causing the bottom to wear through a little bit and i'd like to get some new ones because since ive switched i have had 0 injury problems and my lower legs/knees have never felt so good

Thats exactly the same as me, when i wore trainers the first year when i took up runnin, i had a hamstring injury, groin and calf injury. Now do all my runs in racing flats including easy runs. Currently use Nike Vaporflys - newer version of mayflys and also use nike air streak plus - shoes Paula Radcliffe broke the marathon world record in. Vaporflys are better though, very light and good cushioning.
