How to Save Money on Your Running Shoes
Running is a fantastic way to stay fit, but frequently replacing your running shoes can get expensive. Typically, you should consider getting a new pair after logging 400-500 miles on your current ones. If you run often, this might mean buying new shoes every two to three months. Fortunately, with proper care, you can extend the life of your shoes and save money. Here’s how:
Reserve Your Shoes for Running
While running shoes are incredibly comfortable, try to use them solely for running, jogging, or working out. Wearing them for other activities compresses the cushioning, leading to quicker wear. For home use or casual outings, opt for flip-flops or a good pair of walking shoes instead. Remember, running shoes are designed specifically for running.
Properly Wear and Remove Them
In a rush, it’s tempting to slip your shoes on and off without untying the laces, but this stresses the material and shortens their lifespan. Always untie your laces to reduce wear and tear.
Avoid Direct Heat
If your shoes get wet, never dry them with direct heat like a radiator, which can damage materials such as leather. Instead, remove the laces and insoles, and let them air dry away from the sun. Crumpled paper inside can help absorb moisture more quickly.
Alternate Pairs
For frequent runners, rotating between two pairs allows each to decompress between runs, extending their durability.
Store Them Correctly
Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and heat. Avoid leaving them in cramped spaces like a stuffed duffel bag or a car trunk.
Hand Wash Only
When cleaning, hand-wash your shoes gently. Avoid strong detergents or hot water, and let them air dry without applying direct heat.
Invest in Quality
Consider investing in well-designed running shoes from a reputable store. Though quality pairs cost between $50-$120, they reduce the risk of injury. Cheaper options, often ranging from $25-$40, might lead to leg injuries due to poor design.
Shop Smart
Specialized running stores typically offer after-sales support, ensuring you’re satisfied with your purchase. If shopping online, be precise with your orders to avoid returns, which can be time-consuming.
By taking these steps, you can extend the life of your running shoes, keep your feet safe, and save money in the process.
