Signs That
Show Your Running Shoes Need To Be Replaced

 

Running in
old or worn out shoes can lead to running injuries. This is because over time
your running shoes lose shock absorption, cushioning and stability. When you
run in worn out shoes, it increases the stress and impact on your legs and
joints. Here is how u know you need new shoes:

 

A good rule
is to replace your running shoes every 300-400 miles, depending on your running
style, body weight and the surface that you run on.

 

If you are
feeling muscle fatigue, shin splints or some pain in your joints, then you
might be wearing shoes that have lost there cushioning.

 

If you hold
your shoe at both ends and twist it should feel firm. An old shoe will twist
easily.

 

If your
soles are worn out, then it is time for new shoes.

 

You can
also rotate two pairs of running shoes. Purchase a new pair about half way
through the life of your old ones. The new ones can serve as a reference to
help you notice when your old ones are ready to be replaced.
