I was brought up as to not be wasteful, so back then I tend to keep shoes for waaaay too long (some already had hole in the soles). However as time went on I realized that it's more economical to buy new pairs than compromise my long-term health. And so I found this video so thanks for reinforcing that thought, doc.

When my outsole has a hole. Mid sole failure. No support from the upper. These are common reasons for me. I have several sneakers on the edge of being tossed due to excessive wear. I did save a good pair of sneaker by shoe goo. The tread is good but the upper was separating from the bummer. The glue has done a great job of holding the shoe together. But, the shoe goo did not hold up when I used it on the outsole of my shoes. It wore off/scoffed off in a couple of days.

After a while i get holes in the heel part of the shoe by that time the bottom is worn too, especially in the heel corner and they don't feel as nice anymore That's when i say goodbye to a shoe, even before the holes get really bad. So just before they fall apart, but not too early either Like with my last dailies, they looked fine on the outside, the rubbing to become holes had started but it didn't tare apart yet. But they weren't as comfortable anymore and in longer walks my feet hurt. So I replaced them, feet are happy again. So look (where does shoe break first), feel (do feet hurt after walk?), act :)

Thanks for this video. VERY useful information. I - like many players these days - probably hang on to my shoes longer than I should. I Googled a bunch of articles on then subject that echoed your advice in this video. They also suggested strongly replacing your shoes every 45-60 hours of playing time. If you play once a week (given 52 weeks in a year) they suggested replacing your shoes once a year. You play twice a week, then replace them twice a year - and so on. I just looked at my shoes that I bought about 20 weeks ago and they are definitely heavily creased in the midsole. That makes sense as I play 3-4 times a week. Would you agree with this guideline Doc?

Hi Zach, I stumbled on your channel doing research recently when I started to develop some Achilles Tendintitis. Your channel has a wealth of really good detailed information, and I really like how you take the time to explain a lot of reasons why the shoes do ro don;t work in different scenarios. For me, I have been wearing Wilson Rush Pros (probably 3.0 to 3.5s) for the last few years, and they keep failing in the foam behind the heel along the Achilles (Heel Counter?) - I assume from your videos this means my heel is probably not getting locked in properly? I also am seeing the creases you mentioned on the side of the foam in this video concentrated around the midsole area. Have ordered a pair of Solecourt Boosts, hoping they will do the trick for me.

If anything it means that the foam is doing its job by compressing and giving a cushion to your foot. your midsole has failed if you can no longer feel the cushion, or you feel that you are not getting the same performance that you once got. Also, in my experience, the degradation of the outsole doesn't translate to the degradation of other parts of the shoe, such as the midsole or the upper.
