It’s crazy to have more than one pair of running shoes at a time, right?
Wrong.
Did you know that rotating between different pairs of running shoes may reduce your risk of injury by up to 39%?
And that’s not the only benefit. Rotating your shoes can also help extend the lifespan of each pair, giving them more time to recover between runs.
Plus, different shoes are designed for different types of running, from daily runs and long runs to speed sessions and trail runs. Having a rotation can help you get the most out of each run and your overall training.
So, how many pairs should you have in your rotation?
Come into Shoe Science Albany or Silverdale and chat with our team. We can help you build a rotation that works for you, your running, and your goals.

28 bones and over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments.
The foot is a marvel of levers and pulleys all working together to shift loads.
We’ve been fitting shoes for 30+ years, so, why are we seeing so many issues with the foot and lower limb with runners now, than we did 30 years ago?

It was great having Nick (and Maverick!) in store today for a new pair of ASICS Kayano 33! Nick got a sweet $50 off with his $50 event entry discount as well!
Maverick didn’t require any shoes today, we felt his milage wasn’t quite at a level that required something at this stage…
Nicks running the Auckland marathon this year, and raising funds for the Cancer Society of New Zealand. Link below if you could spare a few dollars - it’s a great cause!

The New Balance SuperComp Rebel V1 is a seriously exciting new release, especially for runners who love a firm, responsive toe-off.
Moving away from the FuelCell midsole used in previous SuperComp models, the SC Rebel V1 features an Infinion midsole paired with a carbon-infused PEBAX plate. The result is an incredibly lightweight and snappy ride.
The plate creates a pronounced rocker and an aggressive, propulsive feel, making the SC Rebel a great option for fast daily training, tempo runs, or even racing.
Come into Shoe Science Albany or Silverdale to try the new SC Rebel V1 and compare it with our range!
Men’s and women’s sizes available

Everyone we deal with is a-symmetric… and everything a-symmetric is magnified when you fatigue.
Here we have a New Balance 860 V15, (size 15 4E), so we’re talking about a very tall an solidly built runner. He runs many marathons and halves per year, and the slower the run, the more heel wear.
As you can see the shoe on the Left has far more heel wear - and this is after about 200km. This isn’t a shoe quality issue, it’s an a-symmetrical issue.
So what we’ve done is help out by layering liquid rubber onto the area to even out the heel wear, and probably this will be repeated in another 200-300km.
So if your shoes are consistently showing uneven wear - you know why.
Don’t just throw them either, get ‘crafty’ and try a repair… get the most out of your investment…
