Love your shoes! Good advice – 300 miles. And I love the idea of planning to buy new shoes when we turn the clocks. I can get some nice bright ones in the spring and some black ones like yours to go with long black running pants in the fall.

You should always spend a lot on your bed and your shoes, because when you’re not in one, you’re in the other! Enjoy your new pair, hopefully they’ll empower you to spring into the new season with energy and motivation!

Ohhh Joanna, I was just trying to convince myself TODAY that I don’t need new tennis shoes yet! I have probably had mine for about 8 months….but they still look good! You’re right though, they aren’t supporting me as well as before, and I need to spring for a new pair (no pun intended). Thanks for the (UGH) reminder!

I can definitely second this thought! New shoes are a must for me at regular intervals.

Changing your sneakers are so important when working out. I feel like you don’t realize it until you get a new pair and you feel so much better. Your arch, your shin splints, etc…I recommend having two pairs of sneakers also, that way you can break them in and your feet adjust to the different workouts. Then when you do need a new pair, at least you wont have a hard time adjusting.

I just went one step further (pun intended) I made the investment of going to the “Good Feet” store and getting orthopedic inserts for my shoes! a bit pricey initially but OHHHH! how my back and neck are loving me for it! They have a lifetime warranty and helped immediately with my posture, I stand straighter naturally, and my head and chest are up and I think that I look so much better when I stand tall which makes me feel better about myself, and with that extra boost of confidence and no foot or back pain I am sure that I look more confident, sure of myself and my whole attitude changes for the better!

oh my gosh this is brilliant – twitter, facebook, and blog more about this…make it a movement! i always forget when i bought my last pair of workout shoes and this is perfect. i always buy 2 at a time: 1 for the gym for cross-training/lifting and 1 for running…so that way every six months would be perfect to upgrade my duds! thanks for the idea – brilliant.

I’ve needed new shoes for so long. They’re pretty expensive, so I’m saving up. Still, my current shoes look at me pathetically every time I put them on!
