How it is calculated
- We start from a typical lifespan per shoe type: from 350 km for carbon-plated to 800 km for max-cushioned.
- We adjust it for terrain (technical wears faster) and your weight.
- Each physical wear sign adds 10 % extra wear.
These are rough figures: real life depends on your stride and each model.
Shoe wear FAQ
How often should trail shoes be replaced?
Between 500 and 800 km for most models; less on technical terrain or for heavier runners.
How do I know the midsole is dead?
Deep wrinkles, a hard feel when pressed or new knee and shin aches mean it has lost its cushioning.
When should I buy the new pair?
At about 75 % of life, so you can break them in for 40-50 km before your next race.
