Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

Hi, track fan here, but do just walking for exercise in my beloved GT 2000's. I'm a bit older than many and so have some aches and pains. I bought a bunch of V 11's because the 12 seemed a bit different and my stride is less comfortable in it (higher heel I think?). Anyway, it feels like a new pair of 11's will help in terms of feeling less pounding in my feet and I'm going to do that. The issue is, I haven't been wearing my first pair of 11's for long at all, going to research when I got them; and now I'm changing to a new pair. I'm just curious regarding anyone's experience as to how long they run in a shoe before going to a new pair. I know it's not an apples to apples comparison since I walk, not run, for exercise.

Thanks for any help.

Two seasons. Some shows are good for a third and on rare occasions a fourth, but they definitely get stale after that.

I watch the whole thing but sometimes leave it on in the background after a season.

Japanese make some good quality, but I like local productions when there’s something good.

Wow! That long. I just put on my new pair and walked inside for a minute and can say I notice what feels like a significant difference in terms of they will take some pounding off my feet and legs, and I've only been wearing the older pair for probably 4 months. Maybe it's the age of operator! Thanks

Lol. I don't see a way to edit the title, only the body. Unless someone knows. Did just email letsrun asking how.
