Anyway, to the subject of runners - when I was running outside, I'd go through about 4 pairs of runners every year. I was logging a lot of kms, and the shoes just got "pounded out". For the last 10 years or so, I've switched to running on a tread mill. I switch up my routine, so I'm only running every 2nd day for about 40 minutes each time (biking the other days). Now, a pair of runners will last me about 2 years or more. They just don't seem to get pounded out as much on the tread mill. BTW - I use Asics (have for years). Like Greenlantern above noted - they run around $150.00. I've gone through a lot of Nikes, Reebok, Newbalance, etc. - I ended up preferring the Asics to all of them.

Yeah, by far the most comfortable and durable shoes.
