Incredible medicine for aging well: Walking!

It's easy to ballpark the miles on a shoe if you walk regularly and do the same distance on a regular basis without a tracker. It can also be easily figured by time. For example, if you walk 2 miles (average time about 40 minutes) 4 days a week that would be about 30 miles a month. So you know to change your shoes about once a year or even every 18 months.
I'm happy you are getting new shoes. Please compare them and let us know what you find. I try not to do this test at 200 miles because I know I'll never go back to the old shoes, even though they have 100-200 miles left!

If I could walk a distance that would be one way to measure it. Unfortunately, my ability to walk is limited to the walking I do in the house and what I do in errands or grocery shopping. Some people count steps; I'm not in that generation.
How are my new shoes? I'm comparing Brooks GHOST ?? with new Brooks GHOST 15. The new shoes have a lot more cushioning, and the shoes hold my feet in better alignment. I've noticed that my feet are beginning take on an inward curve; these shoes prevent that. (I haven't worn them to the point where they have accomodated to the shape of my foot.) Looks like these are keepers.
