I have some specialized Tri vent shoes, and have had them for about 2 years now. They are pretty much beat to all hell. My question is how often do you guys get new tri shoes?? How long should they last?
On a side note I am addicted to that Anberlin song “Feel Good Drag” Great training song IMHO.
Get new shoes…then when it is wet out wear your old ones and you should be able to keep the new ones in better shape.
I get ~5 years out of a pair. I might have to have the velcro restitched and replace the cleats once or twice, but the upper and sole hold up well. I’ve used Time, Specialized, Sidi, and Lake; and haven’t fount one to wear out significantly faster than the others.
If you pee on the bike leg, I’d say every year.
Otherwise, 2-3 years, and change the insole every year.
Just some thoughts.
