Running Shoe Mileage Tracker

Built by the FootWell team · Edited by Mustafa Bilgic · Updated June 2026

Worn-out running shoes lose their cushioning and raise injury risk. Enter the kilometres (or miles) on your shoes and their expected lifespan to see how much life remains and a clear replace-or-keep verdict.

Most running shoes last roughly 500–800 km (about 300–500 miles) before the midsole degrades. Lighter runners and rotating multiple pairs extend life; heavier runners and rough terrain shorten it. Adjust the lifespan to match your shoe and running style.

Your shoe-life status will appear here.
