Despite Hoka&#8217;s outsized (ahem) reputation, this is a pretty minimal shoe that&#8217;s comfortable, balanced, and light. The Brooks Ghost 17 is another simple, easy, reliable everyday runner that\u2019ll carry beginners from couch to 5km and beyond.<em>\u2014Adrienne So<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><a

Rotating shoes with 48 hours between runs boosts your shoe\u2019s bounce-back-ability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Undo your laces.<\/strong> You\u2019re tired, we know, but kicking off (or worse squeezing back in) without unlacing your running shoes is a sure-fire way to damage the heels fast.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wash them if they get muddy.<\/strong> Mud and sand in the upper fibers can cause them to degrade. But don\u2019t wash them in the machine, do it by hand\u2014and stay well clear of the dryer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep things cool.<\/strong> Prolonged exposure to high heat from a radiator or the sun\u2019s rays can dry, harden, and damage the midsole.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stuff them.<\/strong> Remove the insoles and dry each running shoe separately. Then use scrunched up newspaper to dry out damp inners faster and help the uppers retain their shape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How Long Should My Shoes Last?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The internet&#8217;s collective wisdom says that you should replace your shoes somewhere between 300 and 500 miles. However, this decades-old rule of thumb is based on a few limited studies and general advice from brands. New foam varieties, outsole rubbers, and upper technology means it\u2019s now harder to offer blanket advice.<\/p>\n<p>There are many different formulas of modern midsole foams. Durability is now judged not only by how long the protective cushioning lasts, but also whether it continues to deliver the bounce and performance. Some of the top superfoams might lose their initial energy but remain as protective as a firmer, more traditional EVA sole. For example, your high-tech carbon race shoe could become your daily runner once it\u2019s lost its top-speed edge.<\/p>\n<p>You also have to factor in your unique running style. Shoes wear differently for different runners, impacted by variables like weight, stride pattern, pace, daily usage, terrain, and climate. There are obvious signs of wear and tear: Heel collars rubbed through, holes in the uppers or grip worn to the point it\u2019s no longer effective. It\u2019s harder to spot when a midsole has had its day. They don\u2019t crease in the same way older shoes used to.<\/p>\n<p>The best advice: Use your shoes until something feels off. When that happens, you might want to start shopping.<\/p>\n<p><\/inline-embed><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/v2\/offers\/wir_generic_ctrl?source=Site_0_HCL_WIR_EDIT_HARDCODED_0_COMMERCE_AFFILIATE_ZZ\"><em>Power up with unlimited access to<\/em> WIRED<\/a><em>.
