Ever wondered what 800km does to a pair of shoes?

Asics Kayano XIs - brand new (0kms) versus 800kms, and it's worth noting the old ones had a run through the washing machine at the 400km mark:

Also worth noting the old shoes, despite the worn soles, weigh about 4 grams heavier each than the new ones...

Hey, great comparison Vat! Always wondered about how much weight the old shoes take on with unspeakable stuff

Perhaps as your shoes get older you should start to cut small lengths from your shoelaces to compensate for "unspeakable stuff" - the cling-ons...

By my calculation it would be 1g per 200km per shoe...

This practice could also double as an indication of when your shoes are ready to be replaced....ie: when there is no laces left!!
