There’s been a lot of discussions lately about rotating two or more pairs of running shoes, depending on how you use them. It makes a lot of sense. For example, some people find that on days after a hard run in a pair of high-performance shoes, they run easier in a pair of shoes designed with a little more stability.

Beyond that, there’s evidence to suggest that rotating your running shoes decreases your risk of injury by varying impact from run to run and building different sets of muscles depending on the composition of the shoe. Plus, if you rotate, both pairs of shoes will last longer. Because each pair is allowed a day (or two) off, the cushioning springs back into shape after each wear. You’ll enjoy a comfortable ride in each pair for a longer time.
