THE MOST IMPORTANT SHOE YOU OWN
It should be obvious that your running shoe is the most important shoe you own. How many of you run a few days/week and have the same pair of running shoes for a year or longer? The truth is that most people have these sneakers for way too long. Too many people have the same running shoes they bought 2 years ago. Of course it's an understandably comfortable feeling to slip into a broken-in sneaker. It's also may be more fun for most people to spend their money on new heels or a new gadget. While those items may seem more gratifying than a new pair of running shoes at the time, you'd be failing to recognize the importance of your body and maintaining it's abilities. You see, running naturally puts wear and tear on our body. The sneakers you wear are the most important item that specifically protects your feet from translating this potential damage through to your joints and muscles. A worn out sneaker that has lost it's material integrity, may seem comfy, but provides little to no support. This can lead to injuries and that happen quickly or gradually over time. The recommended milage for a running shoe is 300-500 miles. Depending on how much you run or exercise, that's about every 3-6 months. I log a fair degree of miles so I change my running shoes every three months. I might keep the sneakers around after that and put them on for casual wear, but they are firmly retired from my feet for the purposes of running. It's just safer that way. It's also the best money I spend because it dictates the degree my body experiences the stresses I put on it. Remember, a running shoe should be just that--a running shoe, and nothing else until it's "retired". Buy running shoes that you only run in. When you go to the grocery store and run you errands after the gym or after your workout, CHANGE YOUR SHOES!! Absolutely do not have one pair of athletic shoes that you wear for everything. Don't think, "I only run 3 miles 3 times a week so that doesn't apply to me." So, buy some cute exercise shoes you want to train in and run errands in and buy running shoes that are solely for running. Let's get smart. CRUSH TIME!
