Replacing Your Footwear; When's it Time?

Replacing your shoes regularly is an important component of maintaining good foot health. Many of us wear shoes past their “expiration” date simply because we

don’t

know what to look for!

As a general rule of thumb, shoes should be replaced every 8-12 months for most people or every 500-700 kilometres for running shoes. Some shoes will last longer, and some will wear out more quickly.

One indication that your shoes might be approaching the end of their life is if you feel they are not as comfortable and supportive as when they were new. As the materials wear down, the cushioning and support begin to compress and the materials that the shoes are made of don’t “bounce back” as much as they once did.

Every foot moves differently, and mechanical factors will be different for every person. If you are harder on your feet, chances are you will wear out your shoes more quickly than “average”. This is why it is always important to regularly inspect your shoes to determine if they are wearing out a little more quickly than expected.
