How many miles do you expect out of yours pressuming minimul tarmac useage before studs are worn enough to be ineffective or uppers rip/part company with lower parts of the shoe?
I have only clocked about 250-300 on my Innov8's and they are starting to fall apart,soles probably have another 50-80 in them before requiring the services of LSR. Just wondered what sort of mileage others get from their shoes, not just Innov8's.
Getting near 400 or so is good going.
I get 250-350, really. That's in my Walsh PB's in Snowdonia, so rough terrain.
At least 800 miles in Swoops.

Over 1000 in the last pair and the ones I had on yesterday completed 900 on the way past Big End!
(Maybe that's why I fell over in Ogden Clough!)
Depends on the terrain I'd guess. I use mine in Snowdonia so they face a lot of rocky terrain, but I'd imagine on grassy terrain or softer trails like in the peak as long as you washed them regularly to avoid the Peat rotting them they'll last longer.
I only got 70 miles out of my trainers which I personally think is rubbish, so dont buy adidas as they are crap, gave me blisters and werent that comfy, now my flat mate is laughing at me becuase he thinks adidas are rubbish, he likes his skimpy clothes and acis trainers or whatever but some of us dont have £70 to spend on running trainers.
Walshes - my first pair are 20 years old now. Needed the front glueing at the toe where the sole was peeling away from the upper. 5 mins at a shoe repairers, and good as new!
The arch supports are getting a bit crumbly though...
Shoe life expectancy for me is between 200 to 500 max.
I tend to run on the balls of my feet and either smash the soles or my little toe's rub through or the split on the creases at the front.
All very well but how often have they been worn and how many miles have they done?
