Expiration Date on Shoes

I have to replace my fitness shoes several times per year whether I want to or not. This is because shoes wear out. Even if a shoe... especially running and fitness shoes... still look good or the sole is in great shape from lack of use, time and the elements take their toll. Light, humidity and even air degrade rubbers and foams over time. This compromises the effectiveness of the shoes and could cause injury if really degraded. The maximum I ever have running shoes is 1 year no matter how much mileage I put on them. Running is a demanding activity and I need as much help as I can get when staving off injuries. Usually I am rotating 2 pairs every year. This allows me to try out different shoes if I want as well as lengthen the useful life of the pair. I also do this for work (professional) shoes. To be honest, I have about 8-10 pairs of shoes I use for work and casually bumming around. Back to the running shoes, I have a tendency to have one pair of pavement shoes and one for off-road use. That's just to be able to mix up the terrain and have the proper equipment.

Anyway, I received an awesome deal from them and had to post it up. One of the best I've seen in a while. So if you need to replace those old stinkies or give the gift of fitness... here is your chance to save big.
