Not necessarily shin splints, but other problems perhaps.
For me when shoes reach the ~350-400 mile mark, I start to feel little aches and pains in my legs -- in various ankle tendons, knees, hamstrings... etc.
When I retire shoes and put fresh ones on, I immediately feel a difference -- more pop and bounce and less pains. I've had some shoes that I expected to last along time but I had to retire them after just 300 miles. I've had others that have seen the uppers start to fall to bits but still have bounce and pop after 450 miles.
Another thing I've found is that shoes last longer as I've done higher mileage and my speed/form has improved.
I weigh 155 pounds, and run ~70-90 miles a week. The shoe type I wear is lightweight trainers/racers & flats.
Other people may have different experiences but for me the 300-500 mile "rule" is actually pretty spot on.
I have a couple pairs of trainers that are close to 400M and they are a little less than stellar. I've noticed some pain/soreness over the last week that wasn't there before. If I run a lot more in shoes with less miles on them I feel better...time to hit the NB outlet.
Yes this is a good rule of thumb. I put 550 on my NB 890 v.2s and a little more on my original 890s before they were tossed although they should have been retired at 500.
Are you serious? If you think the shoes are the problem, you've got another thing coming.
