I use the Brook's Ghosts. I've always been told about 250 miles, which for me is about 6-8 months. I have seen those Kinvara's, which I might try out, but I've seen my times fall and I'm pretty finicky about these things.
250 miles is the standard generic response from anyone about shoes. It's roughly right more than it is wrong so it's a pretty decent guess. I always go by how my legs feel during and after a run. If I'm getting a bit of knee twinge in my runs or my legs aren't recovering well and I've had my shoes for a bit I go buy more. Also, if the foam on the outer midsole starts getting really wrinkly(think Ommy's balls) then it's time to look into a change.

Brooks always ran REALLY narrow for me. I could never wear them. Saucony's are a bit of a roomier shoe in the forefoot. I got hooked on wider toe boxes by Merrell and other minimal shoes years ago. As a training shoe the Kinvara's are the best I've worn in years.

I might try a Nike for the first time in a decade as a racing flat(The ZoomX Vaporfly) but I need to get done with my Altra Vanish-R's first.

I'm not sure what to say to this other than ask, other than yourself, have you seen who wears those?

Having grown up in Southern Arizona you wear anything you can to cool off. And I'd rock the shit outta those sandals.

I actually think you are wrong though. Sure, avid hikers wear them, but so do thousands of other people that never set foot up a dirt trail.

I'd wager that more people wear those things to get groceries than ever hike in them.

What exactly are you trying to argue about right now? I mean you can look up chacos, they aren't secret. Prob have a wiki page. This is weird.

You mean Shower Shoes? I wouldn't want to offend any snowflakes by wearing the incorrect shoes now would I?
