Stinky Running Shoes

I set out for my run and thought I had a stone in my shoe at the heel. Stopped to check and realised I have worn straight through...the back of them. They have done me proud for about 300 miles. Soles are fine - just the back of them has gone completely through. Is this normal or am I running oddly.

Bin them or keep them for nostalgia, I think you should buy a new pair of shoes.

I think its just wear and tear . If the soles are still okay maybe you can continue running in them but they may now cause a blister on your heel 😊

Yikes - dont want blisters from that. I got £20off for trading in my old shoes at runners need . Happy running 🤗

300 miles is not much for a pair of running shoes. Do your heels slip a bit? Definitely mention the damage when buying the next pair.

I have not had a single blister from them and hadn’t felt anything at all until yesterday when I thought I just had a small stone in my shoe. I don’t think my heel slips ....

I was fitted for them at runners needs
