As soon as you start to see the rubber wearing, you chuck them.
So probably like...
Training shoes, there's a difference between training and racing.
Racing shoes are very like a little more delicate.
They have like not a lot of rubber on the bottom.
They're super lightweight, especially the high-end like Nike, like Alpha Fly or Vapor Fly, the racing shoes that those shoes will only last about 300 miles.
So like when I'm training for a marathon, three weeks, gone.
Reebok made a pair of shoes for 500.
Adidas made a pair of shoes for $500 that you could only wear once.
Because they don't have a lot of rubber on the bottom, so they're super, super lightweight, and they just wear out fast.
The foam gets compressed, the rubber wears off, and they're only made to run fast once.
Yeah.
I think that there's a school of thought that says like that extra cushioning is good for you.
There's other people like Gabby Reese would be like a big barefoot person and be like, no, that's too much.
It gives you false sense of security.
I think like this, it's like people ask me, what shoes do you wear?
And I was like, that's like asking the guy who won the Daytona 500, like what kind of tires do you have on your car?
I need some for my Camry.
I'm like,
Or I need tires for my pickup truck.
