| When to Buy New Shoes? Important Points  Depending on your activity level, the recommendations vary. (1) A physical therapist or specialized shoe store can assist in making sure you have the right shoe. | |||||||||||||||
These recommendations above may vary depending on your weight and what surface you run, and whether you are showing signs of injury. If you are overweight, you may need to replace shoes sooner or if you run on uneven surfaces. If you are showing signs of injury, then you may need to replace your shoes or see your sports medicine physician or physical therapist. When shoes start showing wear and tear on the outside or on the tread, the inside of the shoe has already began to break down. The midsole is very important for those who have flat feet or high arches. The midsole is responsible for shock absorption.10-20 percent of overuse injuries could be caused by worn-out shoes. The percentage is higher for those who never had the right shoes for his or her feet from the beginning. One way to keep up with this guide is to write the date when the shoes will expire on your tongue or side of the sole. Some recommend to buy new shoes about half way to your expiration date and rotate them. The shoes would have more time to dry out using this method. We do recommend a break-in schedule where you wear your new shoes one day and then the old ones, until you are wearing only new shoes. This would also assist in making your older shoes last longer. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place and taking the insoles out and placing crumpled up newspaper will assist in drying out quicker and properly. (1) Do not wash in washing machine and only wear them when exercising. Related Articles Help Me Buy the Right Athletic Shoes Are Heelys Safe for Your Son or Daughter?
