The average person could walk over a staggering 100,000 miles in their lifetime, meaning they will take over 200 million steps; which is the equivalent to walking around the world four times! Therefore emphasising the sheer importance of looking after ones feet, and no more so than in the shoes we choose to wear. Unfortunately, shoes aren’t invincible and will need replacing every so often; so follow this guide to ensure long-lasting comfort in your shoes and more importantly, healthy feet.

– Sports shoes – these types of shoes are frequently debated about as to how often they should be replaced. Evidently, for many avid runners, the shoes play a crucial role in both their performance and their physical health. Running shoes provide much needed support to the joints of the feet, knees and hips, offering shock absorption to keep these joints healthy. Therefore, keen joggers who are jogging nearly everyday should be looking to replace their running shoes from every 3 to 6 months. Equally, if you start to notice a lack of support or bounce from your running shoes it is probably time to start looking for another pair.
– Work shoes – probably one of the most worn pair of shoes in both men’s footwear and women’s footwear collections! Therefore, you should be looking to replace these once they start to lose their shine or start looking a bit scuffed. This is generally the key in smart dress shoes too.
– Slippers – this type of footwear is probably the least replaced, as we all get attached to a certain pair of slippers. However, once your slippers start to loose their grip you should look into replacing them to avoid slipping on wooden/shiny surfaces.
