I wear shoes that have no rubber on the outer edge of the forefoot, which is exactly where my foot lands first and wears the most. After about 200 miles, the surface is visibly worn and in some shoes I can feel the tilt when I stand in them. Would this affect my running in any way? Is it better to constantly reapply Shoe Goo or just get new shoes?
Interested to hear any responses. Exactly the same happens with my wife. She tears her shoes to pieces.
What shoe are you wearing ?
If you are wearing a racing flat or minimalist shoe, 200 miles may be the norm for excessive wear.
I do the same thing. I doubt it's a good thing since we are slamming our forefoot. Seems like a more balanced footfall would be best. I have to buy shoes with a lot of forefoot cushion (like the asics nimbus) or I will wear through a shoe in 200 miles as well.
