Brooks shoes (Read 1173 times)

Typically how many miles can you get out of Brooks? I'm at the 300 mile mark and I've been getting some tightness in my shins. I don't know if Brooks just don't last as long or if it's the fact that I've just now about 3 weeks in to a regular running schedule again and I'm just adjusting. This is my first pair of Brooks. I've had Mizunos in the past and I typically got over 400 miles out of them. New shoes aren't in the budget until after we see what the damage is from an upcoming orthodontist appointment for my oldest.

I'm on my 6th pair of Adrenalines, and I typically get about 300-350 out of the 6's. This time I went with the 8's, so we'll see. I'd rather buy new shoes than risk waiting until I have pains, so I could probably get more mileage out of them if I had to. I have seen people post that they get 500+ out of the same shoe, so as always, you'll just have to decide when you think yours are done. So, to answer your question, probably somewhere between 250 and 800, give or take.

I got 350 from a pair of Adrenalines but when they were done they let me know it for sure. If you are starting to have some issues you should at least get somebody that knows running shoes to look at them. If it were me I would just go buy a new pair of shoes and see if they make a difference. Of course, if you buy a different shoe you might have some pains initially.

I've been replacing my Adrenalines after about 400 miles for the past year and can feel an improvement with each new pair at that mark.

I have been getting at least 400 out of my Glycerines. The last pair was at 450.

Don't put your glycerins next to the nitros. And if you do, don't shake them.

I cant afford to buy running shoes every 300 miles....so I HAVE to get 500 out of them....I have one pair of Brooks with 200+ mile and they are going strong -- dont even show that much wear just yet so I expect to get my 500 from them.....as a side note, I have a pair of NB1224 with 530 Miles (I think) and they are a little worn but not dead yet.... I go fo the gusto on Running Shoes and always try to get over 500 miles from any pair.....It seems that Asics start to feel flat around 300 or so......the other brands seem to work for me..

I alternate between GTS and ASR's and generally shop for low prices and get new pairs of each a few months before I actually need them. I'll get around 400 miles out of the GTS's and maybe a little more out of the trail shoes. TC

I always get 500+ miles out of Adrenalines. Last year I had 4 pairs of 7's and this week I have just gone into my first pair of 8's. I always wear a pair of SUPERFEET insoles as well so maybe this gives me the extra mileage. www.zbsports.com seems to me to be the cheapest place for shoes plus, once you are on their email list they have a 10% coupon every month. I just bought 2 pair of GTS 8 for $53 each.
