As a fan of the minimalist approach I would like to know what your thoughts are on these shoes. I have used the tiger 81s, ekidens, and some new balance flats for my training. Now that they are old i just got a pair of H streets. How long should i expect them to last/ how many mpw do you run, plus how was your experience in them?
ANy replies would be jawesome. Thanks
mine are still going strong after several months of use. A friend of mine just finished the better half of a 141 mile week in them and has been using them (with others) for his running since April.

Why'd you ask this when you've run in them before?
let me take that back...you've already had pair and have run in them. you even gave me your experience w/ them. I'm confused here.
experience? In what way?

I saw a dude running down the street today in Arvada wearing those.
dude you used a damn semi colon after STREET...you should be shot for that and therefor i will not give you my testament of running with these fine H streets. Peace out you ihop waitress whore!
I ran 1200 miles in 1 pair this summer.
they're my favorite shoe since i've been running (nearly 10 years).
however, it's taken me almost 6 months to completely transition down to them from my asics 2070s and orthotics. but now i've put in 140 mile weeks and 25 mile runs on them and can't imagine going back to anything more substantial. just be very careful with the full transition.
what kind of surface (grass, roads, trails, etc) do you guys run on with the H streets?
i run in mid air.....i jump and do a little jig. Frank Shorter practiced this method for hours upon hours...until he learned to levitate just like his idol.....ghandi.

god damn why do all these post have to be so full of shit...
ok i have a pair of these shoes and run in them at times...if you can run mileage barefoot you will be fine...if not....well you probably will not be able to
But the damn things are have natural rubber soles...they just dont last that long.....
i bet i dont have 200miles on and the rubber has worn through in places which makes the traction suck even more than it did at first(and yes the traction does suck).
as far as running 140 miles a week in these , yeah whatever
i bet u thats not bullshit

Dude, I'm not lying. The "rubber has worn through" after less than 200 miles...are you running exclusively on concrete/asphalt? I agree the traction sucks hardcore on wet grass or wet pavement or snow, but otherwise the traction is just fine. Why is it that some people demand to generalize their own experiences to everyone else? I wasn't saying that you should or could put 140 mile weeks on your H Streets, only that I have with success...this doesn't make me a better person or a better runner than you, apparently my shoes just don't wear out as quickly. Why do you have to think I'm lying?
Even if they do wear through in 200 miles you can just have a local repair shop put on a new outsole for about 40 bucks and get at leat 1000 miles on a thick Vibrum.
Mine have been great. I dont know how many miles are on them, around 200 I guess, but they still are fine. I will be putting a new outsole on them just as soon as I have the dunklers to do it (unemployed and all). The main reason I will havev them replaced is so that I get better traction on the wet stuff this winter.
Best shoes made at the moment. H-Streets are great.
I run about 70 mins every day on 90% rocky trails, mostly Hall Ranch in Lyons CO.
Lets just say if you run 140miles a week in h\'s....you better be a damn good runner
I have run a little over 400 miles in a pair so far, exclusively on concrete, and they are still fine. The forefoot outsole is worn flat, but not worn through. The traction is insufficient for wet weather running - I use Nike Waffle Racers in the rain. Cushioning has not been a problem at all, the whole point of my running in them is to teach myself to run more smoothly - eliminate overstriding, decrease vertical oscillation, don't stomp the ground so damn hard. I run about 70 miles per week, all on the sidewalk of the same street, and I'm not particularly fast by Letsrun standards - (10 mile PR 58:XX)
If you are having that trouble with traction, you might be overstriding or pushing off too much. Just a thought.
I like the Hs, but haven't built up the foot strength and form to use them a lot. I run more in Tiger Paws now.
You should get your brain to stop it's oscillation.
Running is not that technical. Just get out of bed and run. If you get home early enough you can get your mate to take a shower with you before school or work.
