Worn out soles cost you more than comfort. They cost you performance and can lead to joint pain. Here are 5 signs your running shoes are due for retirement:
1. Visible sole wear,
2. Reduced cushioning response,
3. Uneven wear patterns,
4. That “flat” feeling after short runs and
5. Lastly, shoes older than 500km of use.
If any of these sound familiar, the Nike Downshifter 12 is a solid, reliable replacement. It’s built for everyday training with responsive cushioning and breathable mesh, currently marked down from R1,699 to R729.
