How long should a pair of shoes last?

When should you replace your shoes?

How often should a person buy new shoes?

If you walk about three to four hours a week every day, you should replace your shoes every six months. If you are heavier and walk more often than that, you should get a new pair every three months. Keep in mind this would apply if you’re wearing the same shoes day in and day out.

How do you know when your shoes are worn out?

A better indicator that a shoe is worn out and ready to be replaced is the health of the midsole. This is the real way to tell if it’s time to replace your shoes. If you flip your shoes over and see wrinkles on the midsole, that’s a good sign that it’s starting to break down and the shock absorption has deteriorated.

Can shoes last 10 years?

If you buy good-quality shoes and take good care of them, resoling and re-heeling when necessary, they could last five to 15 years, Lipson said. Whether repairing is worth the cost depends on how much you paid for the shoes in the first place, as high-quality leather resoling runs $35 to $45.

Is it okay to wear the same shoes everyday?
