Barefoot running is the key to a long, healthy, injury-free and enlightening (did I mention easier and smoother) way of running -- that nature intended. Barefoot is best, but if/when you need shoes make sure they're not cushioned, with a minimal heel (preferably same midsole height from toe-to-heel).

You might get another 200 miles out of them, but then again you might not. I firmly believe in getting my money's worth out of a pair of shoes, but I don't want to wear shoes that are going to injure me and have no problems throwing them out once they've reached their limit. Wes,

I have a pair of "everything else" sports shoe. And I have a pair of dress shoes that are on their 9th set of soles. This summer when I am back in the US, I plan to pick up at least 2 pair of running shoes. I wished I had more running shoes that have 350 miles on them and are still in pretty good shape.

I have ONE pair of running shoes. It has 300 miles on it, so I'm 200 mile away from replacing them. I did get a nice pair of casual walking shoes for every day though :-) I'm really looking forward to getting my next pair as I intend to get some professional help this time. Hee, hee.
