My dad runs 5 miles a day every morning (actually I need to take up his habit, lol). When his shins start to bother him, he buys a new set of shoes and retires the old. He's a very serious runner, and normally replaces his running shoes every 3-4 months. Also he's experiemented with different shoes, and now he has a style he buys exclusively -- I think they cost about $120, he swears he's never gotten a decent pair of running shoes for under $80.00. Good luck! |
