Sneakers are a crucial part of any runner's gear, especially for those with specific needs like flat feet. In this video, I dive into how the right running shoes—specifically, Brooks sneakers—transformed my running experience by alleviating foot pain and enhancing comfort. I share practical advice on how to select, break in, and know when to replace running shoes to prevent injuries. Plus, I offer tips on scoring the best deals on quality footwear and highlight some top Brooks models.

How Often to Replace Running Shoes?It's essential to replace your running shoes periodically to avoid injuries due to worn-out cushioning and support. Here’s a quick replacement guide based on your weekly mileage:

• 20 miles/week: Replace every 15-25 weeks (about 3.5-6 months)
• 30 miles/week: Replace every 10-17 weeks (about 2.5-4 months)
• 40 miles/week: Replace every 7.5-12.5 weeks (about 2-3 months)
• 50 miles/week: Replace every 6-10 weeks (about 1.5-2.5 months)

Depending on how much you run, you might need new shoes as frequently as every 2 to 6 months.
