300 on Trail shoes, 400 on Road shoes. I kind of run only on the outside of my feet and wear them into the midsole by that point, other parts of the sole are like new. By 300 the trail shoes are pretty torn up. My Sportiva and Inov-8 grippy trail soles wear out real fast on pavement. I've gotten 400+ from New Balance and I'm working on some Saucony Trigons. My history with shoes is brief though, would love one of those 700 mile pairs but I'm sure my stride is too wacky for that.

Just retired my Saucony Trigon 5 Rides - 293 miles<br><br>
Bought another identical pair. I had worn through about 1/2" of the rubber sole completely, on the outside midfoot area. Just my crappy footstrike, shoes were great. If I could run better I'd get another 100 miles for sure, really pisses me off to waste money.

Those were my roadshoes, my stride is pretty messed up. I have no heelstrike, strike with the outside edge of my midfoot and just grind the edge away. Kind of ridiculous, all the rubber was worn away there, but the inside heel looks like new <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/dontknow.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="dontknow"><br><br>
I've only been running a couple years though and expect things will even out. My right foot evened out a lot. Feel like I'm wasting money though, cheapskate <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">
