FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Visit the Shoes section of AskRunGuy. 

It is a good idea to speak to a runners in running specialty stores.  People in these stores generally have a lot of experience in running, and they should be helpful in allowing you to try on and try out shoes to ensure you get shoes that work best for you. If you have a special foot issue, consult a doctor that specializes in working with athletes.

There are also surveys and shoe reviews you can take to determine the best types of shoes for you based on your foot / body makeup and running form.  

Visit the Shoes section of AskRunGuy for more information on selecting and replacing shoes. 

Shoe mileage will vary based on individual’s size and frequency of shoe usage, and the surface area that runners run upon. 

I track my mileage that I run on each pair of shoes, and I aim for replacing a pair of shoes after 400-450 miles, but have replaced them after 300 miles depending on conditions.

I also sometimes alternate between different brands and models of shoes, if running many miles per week.  This just allows for different impact points on your feet and joints, which I believe reduces foot stress and risk of injury.
