Who knows of an advantage, other than psychological, to changing from one pair of shows to another during the week, even if most of the miles are run on the same surface? I have been alternating between 2-3 pairs of shoes with the idea that it will slightly alter musculoskeletal stress from run to run and prevent blisters (which TBH aren't that much of a concern until miles get over ten in one session). Is there a downside to this practice?
This study would seem to affirm the practice of alternating running shoes to prevent running injuries:
