Alternate Two Pairs of Shoes
Various sources from the pro runners too Billy at my local running shop have recommend running in different shoes every other day. No, this is not for fashion reasons, though I have come across too many people who buy their shoes due to the flattering colors and “man this shoe looks cool” factor.

Alternating your running shoes gives the cushioning foam a more time to “recover” between uses, and theoretically increases the life expectancy of the shoes. If you can’t purchase two pairs of shoes at one time, for sure you need to find a better place to shop online. However, while you find a better deal on running shoes, expert runners suggest buying a new pair of shoes halfway through the life of your current pair and spread out the monetary pain a little.

One thing to remember is not to alternate between a new pair of running shoes and an old pair. Shoes wear down easily, and you want to maintain the cushion and support in your shoes for proper injury prevention. These shoes are your only protection between the pavement and the 10 little piggies so take care of them. You don’t drive on bald tires do you? If you do then running shoes are the least of your problems.

Good Running!
