Shelf Life on Running Shoes?

but plenty of folks (like me) run very successfully on 5+ year old midsoles. I have 3 pairs of running shoes which I rotate equally upon, and 2 of them are 5.5 years old and still work flawlessly despite the ‘beat-up’ look.

He’s not even running on them, he’s talking about shoes sitting in a box in a closet.

But we agree that it should be no problem.

Yeah, no problem.

I had a pair of racing flats for 5 years before I wore through the soles. The midsole was still fine
