Do I need more than one pair of running shoes?

Shin splints - shin splints running shoe guide
Contrary to a popular myth, studies have shown that running shoes do not regain cushioning if allowed to "rest" between runs so there is no advantage to alternating the same model of running shoes. Some people choose to run in two different models so that they aren't experiencing the exact same foot-strike run after run, day after day - not a bad idea for higher mileage runners as long as the two models are appropriate for your foot type.

I like to run for exercise. How often should I replace my running shoes?

Grapevine Podiatrist, Podiatry, FAQ, Colleyville, Southlake
Rule of thumb is every 350-550 miles. Heavier runners should replace their shoes close to the 350 mile mark while lighter runners can stretch shoe mileage closer to the 550 mile range. If you run around 25 miles per week, you should replace you shoes every three to four months.

Should I wear running shoes or hiking boots?

Hardrock Hundred FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

I usually wear my running shoes when I go backpacking anyway. However, you'll want to pack several pairs of whatever you wear, and bring lots of extra socks. Even in '94, a very dry year, this was a foot-soaking course.

TOP5.12. 5.12 What about running shoes, workout shoes, etc.?

CrossFit Faq
That's up to you. Running shoes aren't ideal, although regular sneakers are okay. Both may inhibit proper running form and throw off your balance during heavy lifts, in particular, because of the compressible soles. Many people prefer a "minimalist" shoe, or even barefoot, if they feel they can do work out safely. See this thread on the message board for a discussion on shoes; if you need more info, check the "Similar Threads" list at the very bottom of the thread link.

How long should my running or walking shoes last?

Waikato Podiatry Clinic Hamilton NZ
How long is a piece of string? This is something that can vary a lot depending on the individual and is mainly dictated by how much use they get. The main way a running or walking shoe wears out is by wearing through the "outsole" on the outside of the bottom of the shoe. The EVA midsole also becomes compressed during use. The midsole is the part of the shoe that absorbs all the impact when you are running and walking.

Do you really only accept running shoes?

runningTradeIn.com - FAQ
Absolutely. There are of course a few slim exceptions for some trail or multi-sport shoes that happen to look fine, but in general only running shoes will work. Flat canvas shoes like Keds, and other generic white multi-sport shoes don't work. Most "fashion" shoes like Diesel don't work either, unless they are very much akin to "real" running shoes.

What shoes should I wear when running?

Antarctic Ice Marathon 2006
A pair of trail running shoes might work out best, but it depends on the snow profile. It is best to bring snowshoes along with trail running shoes and to experiment with both types on the course prior to the race. However, if you are an inexperienced snowshoe user, be aware that they cause pain due to changed leg motion. There will obviously be no divisions based on the type of shoes worn in the race and competitors are free to avail of both options during the marathon.

This largely depends on how often, and far, you run. Generally, however, it is agreed that it is important to invest in supportive footwear that will provide cushioning for joints.
