I have never gotten 400 miles out of a shoe. I'm 190lb runner and have gotten as low as around 200 miles and looking back through my Garmin retired shoes managed 370 once. At any rate, shout out to these Brooks Ghost 13's :)

Normally something (knees) let me know it's time to switch. These I retired due to running out of sole! At any rate, 95 activities, and 444 miles is a record for me!

Longest i've ever gotten out of a pair was around 1600km on a pair of triumph 18. Admittedly those were used a bit too long, although having a rotation helped. At the end i just used them for occasional shorter slow runs.

On average l try to get at least 1000km+ out of each pair.

But ghosts are definitely known for good durability

Yep, I also tend to get around 1000km from my shoes. Usually my signal to retire a pair is pain in the left toe ball (is that the right term?) after a run.

I have some Triumph 20 at the moment that I really like. Looking to get some Speed 3 on sale to rotate between the two.
