So, as many of you know I’m a big walker. I try and walk 4 miles a day 5x’s a week except during the winter when I do different machines at the gym.Anyhoo – I’ve been doing this for years but not until now have I ever been in pain after walking.
It started a few weeks back with my hips and my feet hurting after my big walks. I was starting to think I was just getting old – but now I’ve learned it’s my tennis shoes!
Even though I’ve only had them since January they’re done, cashed out, trash.
That’s right – I’ve been told that orthopedic doctor’s say tennis shoes – no matter how good they are – only last 3 to 4 months if you exercise regularly!
Craziness! How come I’ve never heard this before? I’ve generally worn my tennis shoes until they’re falling apart and never had a problem before? Have any of you ever heard of this??
Well, on my to do list tonight is to buy a new pair of tennis shoes. More to come…..
Happy Humpday!

Isn't it crazy how that works - but it is so true. I try and run 3 to 4 miles 5 x's a week and I feel like I go through tennis shoes like no other. Costco was carrying my style of Addidas so I bought two pairs to stock up! The price we pay to stay fit!
I have never heard that before. I have 2 pairs of tennis shoes that I wear on a regular basis. I have had them both for over 2 years. I work out 6-7 days a week. Maybe it is time to move on.
i was just thinking i need a new pair, but mine are over 3 years old. no wonder they don't feel great anymore. i don't run, but i do work out 5 days a week. too bad they cost so much!
I just found that out too! My pinky toes were falling asleep, I went to a fancy shoe place and they told me my 8 month shoes were too old. Really?
I just bought some Pearl Izumis. PLEASE try them before you buy anything else. The most comfy shoe on the planet, so light weight. They are what all the docs in Fort Worth were during surgery and stuff. I will never wear anything else!
All of this exercise talk is making me tired. I'm going to go lie down.
Good morning...I don't know how to reply back to your comment, or if you can, so I will just leave a new comment on your blog....I just wanted to let you know that mom of the brown eyed girls and I are cousins!!! We are hoping to have a blast this weekend, all though it is going to be kind of chilly, not really what I was expecting in June!
