And also im quite attached to my old shoes.

Which is weird since im always buying new pairs of casual trainers.

Different kettle of fish though isn't it! Casual trainers are for fashion and looking good... running trainers are for... well... running?! It's all about comfort, and I know what you mean about being attached to your trainers, I think it must be something to do with knowing how many miles you've ran in them - perhaps that they've served you so well yet you're abandoning them in favour of a younger model

How do so many people keep track of the mileage that each pair of shoes has done?
I haven't a clue how far any of mine have gone!

Anywhere between 300-500 miles.
Some people are hard on shoes though and get less.
500 really should be the top end of their life. When you buy a new pair write in the shoe the date of purchase under the sock liner. Good tip as it's easy to forget when you purchased them!

Shoe mileage...just another item in the growing list of runners' neuroses?

I'm far from accurate with my estimations pedestrian! I meant more along the lines of remembering the various runs you've enjoyed in those shoes, and having some idea of how long you've had them!

My running shoe mileage is worked out on the crude method of... how many miles I do per week (on average), multiplied by the length of time i've had the shoes, add a bit more for any extra long runs, take a bit off for rest/injury periods, adjust a little more for races (depending on distances and taper etc) = a completely random figure that I figure should be with + or - 100 miles of the actual shoe distance

The Excel spreadsheet I use to log my runs,has a column for the shoes you`re wearing,so keeps a total for up to 5 pairs.

Sad I know..........

Do you have 5 pairs good Sir ?? :eek:

Absolutely not Granty.

But I have worn 4 pairs this year,and can tell you how many miles each has done.

Why do I make these confessions.........................

Since getting my latest 2 pairs (trainers + racers), i've tried to keep relatively up to date with my log on 'mapmytri.com' which you can specify your used shoe... i've currently done 6.84 miles in the racers and can't remember what on the trainers... all very accurate though! lol.
