Fitz Jul 2012 8:45am, 9 Jul 2012 171 posts	0 Fitz I'va followed the shoe-shop mantra of 500-600 miles for road shoes. I now think that's probably too low for me and my running style as they don't appear that worn after that mileage, I will probably keep them for longer in future.
Curly45 Jul 2012 8:47am, 9 Jul 2012 712 posts	0 Curly45 I wear them till they have holes in or smell really bad I do change my insoles about every 1,000 miles or when they fall to bits. These are lightweight racers which I wear for everything now.

I hope restoring it is somewhere on the Fetch to-do list. This is not a thread for folk to post how many miles they get from their own shoes!!
