When to Replace Running Shoes
Hello guys :)
Running with worn-out shoes can impact your running comfort and performance. Therefore, you need to replace your shoes. Actually, there is no definite rule for when to replace your running shoes, because it depends on the quality of the shoes, your running habit, and many other considerations. Here Si Alas Kaki – Your Foot Partner will give you some general tips when to replace your running shoes.
The running shoes have been used for a long distance
Running shoes need to be replaced if they have been used for a long distance. It is better for you to replace your running shoes every 400-600 kilometers. But, it depends on your weight and your running environment. If you have a light or normal weight, you are suggested to replace your running shoes when the distance is almost 600 kilometers. Whereas, if you have a heavy weight, you are suggested to replace your running shoes when the distance is about 400 kilometers. If you run on the road, you should replace your shoes faster than if you run on a treadmill.
The running shoes fail the twist test
To determine whether you need to replace your running shoes or not, you have to do the twist test. Hold your shoe at the two ends and spin it. It is suggested for you to replace your running shoes if your shoe is easy to spin and it looks less strong than the first time you buy it.

The shoes’ outsoles and cushioning are worn out
Take a look at your shoes. If the outsoles and cushioning are worn out, it is time to buy a new pair.
Your body feels pain after running
Pay attention to how your body feels after running. If you notice any aches or pains on your muscles, ankles, knees, hips, or back after you run, it is a sign that you need to buy a new pair of running shoes.
