I saw various articles saying you should get new shoes every 300-500ish miles, but I’m skeptical if they just want you to spend more money by saying that. Do you follow this advice, or do you put more miles on your shoes than this? Do you think 1000 miles on a pair of shoes would be too much?

Edit: Thanks for the feedback everyone. I’ve probably run a few shoes close to 1000 miles without injury, but perhaps I should be more careful as I age.

    I usually run my shoes for around 1100km usually a bit more. The shoes I took the furthest was a pair of saucony triumph 18 that I took to just over 1600km. But they were past their usefulness at the end.

    It really depends on the shoe. For me I start to notice slightly more impact (most in my knees) when the midsole starts to go dead. Not to the degree that it hurts or I get any injuries though. After that the shoes typically still look fine, but kind of lost their advantage as a running shoe.
