Most Mileage on a pair of shoes

I've never counted on mine but I'm sure I've never put any more than 600 on mine.. then I start to feel the roads too much in my knees and I know it's time for a new pair.

I'm averaging 600-700 per pair of Streak XCs, but the most I've ever managed is ~ 950 that I've currently logged on a pair of ASICS Gel Landreth that I bought ~ 15 months ago. I don't wear them very often anymore, but I liked them in the winter when running through snow and slush because they've got a lot more substance to them than the Streaks. I also strap them on whenever I feel a niggle in my achilles, calves or hammies, which hasn't happened in a long time now.

One of my teammates claims to have put 900 on a pair of Asic 2110s. Atleast I think that's the shoe...

I put 847 on a pair of Pegasus 05

Theres someone on running-journal.com with 1,292.58 on a pair of Pegasus 05...goes by the name Mike Heidt. I looked him up and hes a decent runner.

Back in HS I put about 1600 miles on a pair of Nike LD1000s.

I've been rocking a pair of asics 2110's since August 1st. I estimate about 1,315 mile to date.

I run about 5-6 days a week, always 7+ miles a run so I think this is pretty accurate.

263days x 5mpd = 1315

...and counting

Sorry, OCTOBER 1st

not August

You spoiled Americans :)

Most of my running friends here in my country cannot afford more than 1 pair a year of training shoes. They have one pair of racing shoes every second year. Most of them run more than 80 miles/w... We have a good laugh at the RW articles sponsored by shoe companies, which urge to buy a new pair every 500miles.

Although I recognize that it's not healthy to run in one pair for the whole year, 500miles is ridiculous.

I can afford to buy a new pair every day if I wanted to (most of the time I get free pair from my sponsor), but I log at least 1200-1500miles/pair.

I once put 2000+ on a pair of Kayanos and currently have about 1200 on a pair of Gel Nimbus.

I only roll up to about 700 on a pair, depending on how my feet and legs feel. I have a hard toe off so I go through em.

I have a pair which I have logged 30,000 miles on - its called my tootsies.

My shoes fall apart after 800-1000 miles. I use Shoe Goo to keep them going as long as I can but the uppers start to tear by then and the shoe no longer holds my feet in properly. Spoiled or not, I don't have much choice.

The big problem with running shoes is the EVA foam used for the cushioning. As it slowly collapses, your chances of injury gradually increase.

I would love to put more than 500 miles on my shoes, but my hamstrings won't take the strain, and I'm not going to risk it. By 500 miles, the point of push off in my shoes is only half as thick as the other side of the sole.... very dangerous.

I put 996 on a pair of Asics Kayanos during base building. I wanted to break 1000 but those shoes stunk so bad that I couldn't bare to put them on my feet even for 4 more miles.

i once (unknowingly) put 1240 miles of a pair of DS trainers. now-a-days I get about 400 miles out of them before the bottom is simply disintegrated.

how do you unknowingly put 1240 miles on a pair of shoes? that's the question

In my country we can very poor. I used one pair reeboks for all 4 years of high school training and racing 80+ miles week.

990 on the Boston Classics, BITCHES!

I just logged about 800 on my current pair...

I had somewhere between 1500 and 2000 miles on my last pair of ds trainers and around 1500 on my last pair of nike zoom streak. I used to change shoes fairly often, but only when I had big, clunky ones -- I just don't see a need to change them these days unless they really start to fall apart.
