How long should my running/walking shoes last?


   
Generally each brand recommends approx 1000 - 1200 kms for each pair of shoes. They need to do distance as the measure, as everyone uses their shoes differently i.e. if you and I had the same model of running shoes and I run 20 kms a week and you run 40 kms a week, the life of your shoes would be half of mine.

Thus to work out how long you should get out of your shoes, you'd want to work out approx how far you run or walk in them on average every week. Then divide that figure into 1000 to get an approx amount of weeks that you'd expect your shoes to last for i.e. if your average was 40 kms, devide 1000 by 40 = 25 weeks.
