Do I Need New Shoes? 3 Ways to Know it's Time for an Upgrade

Having a good quality pair of shoes is very important, especially when you are on your feet for a good portion of the day. It is also important to know when to buy new shoes to keep your feet, knees, hips, and back in good health. Here are a few tips to help you know when to buy new shoes.

When to Buy New Shoes: 3 Things to Look Out For

Length of Ownership

How long have you owned your shoes? Generally, shoes should be replaced every 8-12 months. Of course, it depends on the shoe and how often you wear it. If you’re someone who works long shifts on your feet, like nurses and healthcare workers, it is suggested to stick to that timeframe.

Current Condition

Do your shoes still look and feel brand new? Or are the soles peeling off and the laces fraying? It may be time to ask yourself “Do I need new shoes?” and the answer is YES. Once the actual construction of the shoe starts to fall apart, it is time for an upgrade.

Increased Foot Pain

Maybe your shoes look fine to the naked eye, but every time you wear them your feet really hurt. This is a definite sign that an upgrade is needed. Unless you experience chronic foot pain with any pair of shoes, it is not normal for your feet to hurt in sneakers. If pain continues, it is suggested to seek medical attention.
