Tough day out that and the trainers were rejected and Skechers, despite being like slippers - in every sense come to think of it - have not been revisited.
faithfulred 25 Jan 3:21pm, 25 Jan 2021 550 posts	0 faithfulred The milage on my last few pairs has been: Wave Shadow 3 - 1523 miles Wave Shadow - 1415 Wave Sayonara 3 - 709 Wave Precision 13 - 1021 These are all relatively lightweight shoes, so that might help with longevity.

Minimag 17 Jul 8:16pm, 17 Jul 2021 383 posts	0 Minimag Wow, I only retire mine when they are torn or otherwise completely unwearable, I also tend to buy bargains - so dont have a favourite brand. I think I get in excess of 1,000 miles before I consider retiring anything, I have also bought second hand running shoes (from here) that are still doing me well. Maybe I'm just lucky not to suffer from injuries etc or just possibly the recommended mileage on shoes is a manufacturers myth
