Is It Time To Change Them? When To Replace Your Running Shoes And Why
Over time your running shoes lose shock absorption, stability and cushioning, so running in worn out shoes increases the impact on your joints leading to various running injuries. So replacing your old running shoes is a good way to prevent possible overuse injuries.

What are the signs that your running sneakers are ready to be replaced? First of all, don't look how much your soles are worn out, because the midsole (responsible for the cushioning and stability of the shoe) usually breaks down before there are any signs on the bottom of the shoe. The best thing you can do is listen to your body. If your knees or joints hurt after running perhaps the reason for that is that your shoes are not shock absorbing anymore due to inadequate cushioning thus directing the shock absorption on your knees and joints.
Of course, when is the time to change your running shoes depends from many factors like your weight, running style or the type of terrain you are running on. By some evaluations, you should replace your shoes every 300 to 400 miles. Of course the heavier you are the sooner you'll have to replace your running shoes, and the same thing goes for the terrain your running on (the rougher the terrain the sooner the shoe replacement).
Many people wonder whether they should buy another pair of running shoes? The answer is yes. By alternating two pairs, they will last longer, and it is good to let your shoe "rest" for a day or two (because you give them time to decompress and dry). In regards to that, perhaps you should buy the second pair of shoes somewhere halfway through the life of your first pair, because it will be a good reference to have a new and an old pair in order to be able to compare the two of them, and notice when it's time to replace the first ones.
Here are some tips for making your running shoes last longer:
Don't wash them in the washing machine: Although washing them in the washing machine is the easy way to go, rather go with a more "traditional" method. Use a small brush, soap and cold or room temperature water, and let them air dry.
Let your wet shoe air dry: never dry your shoes in the drier or on a radiator. They might shrink and become rough. A good old method to dry your shoes faster is to put newspaper inside of them (you can choose other absorbent paper as well).
Use your sneakers only for exercise or running: Your running shoes should be just for running. Don't use them for anything else because you'll wear them out much sooner.
Unlace them before taking them off: By taking the shoes off without unlacing you deform them.
Keep your shoes in a cool and dry place: If you leave your shoes in a humid place for a longer period of time they might become a good environment for various microorganisms (the most common being fungus).
Running in sneakers that are worn out is damaging to your joints, knees and muscles and it's one of the most common causes of running injuries.
