Hope I can put them to good use :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-your-running-shoes#post-1621197 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:55:43 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1621197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are a few months old. It definitely depends on usage! But I think it's worth swapping frequently. When my shoes get old my knees start hurting. :) to get extra mileage out of old shoes I keep them for hiking on trails or walking the dog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-your-running-shoes#post-1621141 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:28:00 +0000 rattles 1621141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are three years old, but I'm pregnant for the second time during those three years, and I've had horrible sciatica during both that's stopped my running. I just said to DH the other day that I think I'm going to treat myself to a new pair after LO2 comes along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-are-your-running-shoes#post-1621137 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:25:42 +0000 mrbee 1621137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend said today you shouldn't use running shoes for more than 3 months. I looked it up and you're supposed to swap them out every 4-500 miles!</p> <p><a href="http://runnersconnect.net/running-injury-prevention/how-long-before-you-have-to-change-running-shoes/" rel="nofollow">http://runnersconnect.net/running-injury-prevention/how-long-before-you-have-to-change-running-shoes/</a></p> <p>If I run 2 miles 3x a week, that's a little over 300 miles a year. Maybe he runs more than me though.., which wouldn't be surprising! I probably need new running shoes anyway though.</p> <p>How old are your running shoes? </p>
