How do you know when it's time to buy new shoes?

Answer by  lei (490)

I've read in a magazine that it's lifespan is determined by the amount of steps it has had. SO for most running shoes, I think its about 5000 steps after which, the shoe cannot give as much suppor as it had when it were newer. It wears out, then it's time to replace to keep your foot in good health.

Wear them until you have any signs of them not fitting as well or being uncomfortable. You should buy shoes whenever you outgrow them. Also, if you outfits that do not match you need to consider getting a different paid of shoes so you could alternate every once in a while
