We have all been guilty about running in shoes that have definitely seen better days! Sometimes we are trying to be frugal. Other times we can't figure out which one of the dizzying array of new models will be best for our foot type or mileage. Or maybe we don't want to take the time out of a busy schedule to go shopping for that next pair. Whatever your reason may be to put off updating your running shoe, when the pain gets to make you dread your next run it is time to buy new shoes.
Your shoes may still look pretty good on the outside

If you can't quite remember how long you've worn your shoes, but it's been 6 months or more of regular wear, it's probably time for a new pair. Continuing to run in worn out shoes causes the feet to bear the brunt of the pounding instead of the shoes. That's not a smart move if you want to continue running long term. It can set you up for plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, aching knees, and shin splints. None of those things make life pleasant! You'll be cranky from not being able to run on top of paying for injury treatment. It turns out that being too cheap to buy new shoes could cost you a lot more in the end

Run on them if you are lucky enough to have a store with a treadmill for runners trying out new shoes. Don't accept discomfort until you get them broken in. Make sure they fit and feel good right out of the box. Now don't you look forward to your next run?
