As a shoe\u2019s sole and heel wear down\nunevenly, the likelihood of twisting an ankle increases. In severe cases, old\nshoes can cause stress fractures, Langer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, the life\nof a running shoe is 300 to 500 miles, Langer said, though it varies with your\nbody weight, gait and surface on which you run. Following that rule, someone\nwho runs 4 miles, four times a week should consider replacing shoes after about\n6 months, while a more casual athlete could wait a year. Running shoes typically\ncan\u2019t be repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to check if running\nshoes need to be replaced is to look at the midsole, which is the foam part of\nthe shoe between the outer sole (the bottom of the shoe, where the treads are)\nand the upper (the top of the shoe, where the laces are). When it starts to\nwrinkle deeply, the shoe is losing its cushioning and getting worn out. The\nmidsole warps with heat, sun exposure and moisture, so if you run somewhere\ndamp, it breaks down faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether repairing is worth\nthe cost depends on how much you paid for the shoes in the first place, as\nhigh-quality leather resoling runs $35 to $45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Analysis: This article informs you on when you should be changing\nout you athletic\/workout shoes. It shows that running shoe soles wear down\nquickly and could be losing support as early as 300 miles in them. It also\noutlines how running shoes usually cannot be repaired after great use. &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/life\/outdoors\/how-to-tell-its-time-to-throw-out-your-shoes\/ \u201cThe shoe wears out in the area where we overload it, so the part where you need the most support isn\u2019t there,\u201d said Minneapolis podiatrist Paul Langer, clinical professor at the University of Minnesota. \u201cA worn shoe can exaggerate the biomechanical faults you already have.\u201d A loss of support and cushioning can cause shin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":2958,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2957","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-focus"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2957"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2957\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2959,"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2957\/revisions\/2959"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
