My running shoes usually last me a while...like a solid 6-9 months of gym use and just wearing around. The last month or so though I've started running outside to the tune of 12 miles a week and these Pearl Izumi shoes seem to be falling apart under my feet. I bought them in January and, as I mentioned, I would just wear them around town and to the gym (working out, using cardio machines), but the addition of outdoor running seems to have rapidly increased their wear and tear.
So, is this normally what I should expect from my running shoes if I continue to, well, run in them? A four or five month life? Should I just quit running and stick to beer?
