These are my Mizuno Enerzy. They are only a few years old, but they survived my 110kg to 75kg, 5km in 50 mins to 10km in 55 mins fitness journey. Its getting a bit embarrasing at the gym when people see the duct tape. Ive already stitched the holes up three times.

How long are running shoes supposed to last you? They are expensive! Are they expected to do this, or should they last much longer?

The continental rubber on adidas shoes lasts forever....

The rubber on their top end shoes like takumi sen and pro 3 is only 1-2mm thick but i've hit 800-900km in them

Also i'm a pretty light person so i dont wear out the foam much
