DeeGee Apr 2012 8:16am, 11 Apr 2012 11,546 posts	0 DeeGee I do get decent mileage out of my shoes, but I do have four pairs of road shoes on rotation. The Triaxes I wore for the Hull Marathon won't see light of day again until London next week, by which time the cushioning should have spung back.

KonaKing Apr 2012 8:49am, 11 Apr 2012 1,675 posts	0 KonaKing I'm getting around 300-350 and I only have to ditch them because the heels are so done in. It's really annoying as they are OK in every other way. I actually tried cutting out the worn bits and evo-sticking in a "new" section cut from another pair of shoes. It worked up to a point but was a lot of faffing around with sharp knives etc. Now I just buy New Balance or Adidas from TK Maxx for £25 a pair and that eases my financial pain somewhat.

Drell Apr 2012 8:48pm, 14 Apr 2012 1,095 posts	0 Drell I just had to retire a pair at 660 miles: the soles and outers were fine, but I wore through the lining in one place on the inside and it gave me a horrible blister.

I am currently wearing Asics and am having issues with my knee which is normally the first sign that my shoes are needing to be replaced but yet again I am only at the 200 miles mark. Works out blooming expensive
