QUESTION OF THE DAY:

How many miles on average do a pair of sneakers last?

ANSWER:

We're not certain about miles, but the experts say that a good pair of athletic shoes used for strenuous activity such as aerobics or running will support your feet fully for only three to six months. The supportive features break down with age, and the shoes become less helpful in preventing injuries. With the price of these things, you'd think they'd last a lifetime!
