  • A good pair of walking shoes can get pricey, so I can't blame you if you want to get every last mile out of yours. But, there comes a point when it's probably best to swap them out for new ones, whether it's to minimize injury risk or because they can't stand up to the elements anymore, experts agree.

The article from Women's Health magazine discusses the importance of replacing walking shoes regularly to maintain foot health and exercise efficiency. It highlights that walking shoes should typically be replaced every 300 to 500 miles or when signs of wear appear, such as loss of cushioning, visible creases, or when the shoe no longer feels supportive. Factors influencing replacement frequency include the intensity of use, body weight, walking surface, and shoe quality. The article also provides tips on how to assess if your shoes need replacing, like checking for uneven wear, feeling for a lack of support, or experiencing new pains or discomfort during or after walks. Additionally, it suggests that investing in good quality shoes might mean less frequent replacements, but even high-quality shoes will eventually wear out.
