I have never gotten 400 miles out of a shoe. I’m 190lb runner and have gotten as low as around 200 miles and looking back through my Garmin retired shoes managed 370 once. At any rate, shout out to these Brooks Ghost 13’s :)
Normally something (knees) let me know it’s time to switch. These I retired due to running out of sole! At any rate, 95 activities, and 444 miles is a record for me!

Impressive! At 210 pounds I go through shoes pretty fast, but my current Asics Novablast just hit 300 miles and they’re still going strong, hopefully they hold up like these Ghosts.
I’m curious to see if the new ones go close to that long too. Bought them both at the same time.

I run about 1000km/620miles usually. Altough my brooks (adrenaline) tend to be a bit less, around 900km/560miles. The rubber on the sole is usally completely gone in some spots. Adidas shoes, with the continental rubber on the soles, tend to last a bit longer. I’m about the same weight as the op.
560 miles in the shoes? Wow that’s impressive!!

Ghosts are my favorite! I usually get about 350 miles out of them, so way to go! I also do not understand those people who gets tons and tons of miles out of shoes.
Ya, I assume weight has a big impact, but obviously how much you scuff/how you land etc… Just crazy how even these wore without causing any running issues. Wouldn’t think my running changed much just out of the blue.

Great job! Cut off those soles, frame 'em, and throw them on your wall as a memorial to your perseverance!
