Thanks for the tip!
Re shoe mileage - I get up to 500 miles out of a pair of cushioning-type shoes but I know others that get more and less from a pair. You'd probably get more mileage from stability or motion-control shoes, having harder rubber compounds, but of course you gotta run in the shoe that best suits your gait.
I wonder if time also affects shoes...how old are they?
