Whether you’re a regular runner or a casual athlete, a good pair of running shoes can be a precious commodity. After the first few wears, the shoe will break in and conform to your specific fit, creating a superior feel and more comfortable experience. The problem is you can’t keep your running shoes in this condition forever. Over time, the components will continue to break down and degrade, until the shoe no longer performs as needed. This doesn’t just lead to worse running performances, but also to long-term harm.
