Shoe tally: A very expensive shoe

Shoe on the left: Nimbus 10 - 149 km - and worn down to the foam!
Shoe on the right: Nimbus 9 - 642 km, including two marathons - just starting to reach the foam.

So here's the latest shoe tally:
North Face Boa Arnuva: 189k
Saucony PGTriumph 5: 563k
ASICS Nimbus 9: 642k
ASICS Nimbus 10: 149k
Mizuno Rider 12: 45k

Shoe Tally update

My last shoe tally was Sept. So here's the latest update for the year.

Saucony PGT4 gold: 600 km
Saucony PGT4 orange: 590 km
North Face Boa: 578 km
ASICS Nimbus 9: 573 km
Saucony PGT5: 484 km
NFB Arnuva: 168 km
PIF: 32 km

NFB Arunuva is for trail running, and I still couldn't get used to the PIF. Except for the Saucony PGT5, which still has about 150 km more to go, the rest will be honorably retired. Hhhmmm. Need another pair for Tokyo. Eyeing the Nimbus 10.

Shoe Tally

Went shopping with my good friend PG yesterday, and we were talking about running shoes. I mentioned that I have 5 pairs. But I was mistaken. I had 6, and with the new pair I purchased yesterday, I currently have 7 pairs!!

In my short experience, I have the privilege of using the following shoes:

Retired shoes (5)
ASICS Evolution (Sep 2004, retired)
ASICS Kayano (Oct 2006, Shermund)
Mizuno Precision (Jan 2007, project love sneakers)
Mizuno Rider 10 (Apr 2007, Vothy)
Saucony Type A (Dec 2006, still good for biking)


Active duty shoes (7):
Saucony PGT4 gold (Apr 2007): 559 km ... overdue for retirement
Saucony PGT4 orange (Feb 2008): 590 km ... due to retire
North Face Boa (Aug 2007): 578 km ... overdue for retirement
ASICS Nimbus 9 (Feb 2008): 463 km
Saucony PGT5 (Mar 2008): 327 km
North Face Boa Arnuva (Jul 2008) : 80 km
Pearl Izumi Float (Sep 2008): 0 km - virgin shoes!

Two pairs are overdue for retirement (more than one year old), and another has high mileage and due to retire soon. So I will be down to a more respectable 4 pairs. :)

Psstt! Don't tell MBH.
