How Long Should Your Shoes Last?
It really depends on you and your lifestyle. How often are you wearing them? How long are you wearing them? For what activities? Walking? Working out? Broe tells me, “Running shoes have a mileage range that is around 250-500.” Even things that you might not have even thought about, like where you store your shoes, the weather, and what surface you are wearing them on, can all play into how long your shoes last. With this in mind, there are also things you can do to extend the lifespan, like switching between pairs of sneakers and ensuring they are dry before you begin your activity. You should also be on the lookout for signs you may need to replace your shoes.
How Much Support Should I Have in My Sneakers?
Part of the comfort level of shoes is how supportive they are. Everyone’s foot shape is different and some may need wider sneakers. Additionally, the support you need may differ from what someone else needs. Broe says that if you don’t have the right support in a shoe, you could risk increased wear on your body and injury.
Is There A Difference Between Lifestyle and Running Shoes?
In short, yes. Broe stresses that when evaluating your shoe choice, it is important to consider all factors, at the top of the list being what activity you plan on using them for. Lucky for you, many comfortable white sneakers on the market fit into different categories.
