How long should a good pair of shoes last if you walk 2-3 miles almost every day?


Answer
To be honest, it depends on a number of things. Your foot placement as you land (pronation, etc), brand, and training schedule. As for your training schedule, if you do a lot of hill workouts or run mucky conditions, they shoe will wear faster. If you pronate, you spread your weight unevenly to the different areas of your shoe, hence different parts will wear faster than others. In your case, since you are walking, your shoes will last forever (if thats the only thing your doing with them). I would say at least 1 year or 15 months.

What's a good running shoe for someone 200 pounds and up?

Many of the shoes look pretty frail.


Answer
Runners in this weight range often need good cushioning since weight is first and foremost, a big factor to stress. You need good shock absorbers and stress relievers. Check shoes for sufficient cushioning and support. Make sure they will give good stability to your joints and soles.
It also depends on your foot shape and it's movement. Do you have a normal foot, flat foot, or high-arched foot?
The Flat Foot has a probability towards overpronation of the foot that strikes on the outside of the heel and rolls inward excessively; over a period of time this may lead to different types of overuse injuries. It is normally recommended to use motion-control or stability shoes with firm midsoles and control features that reduce the degree of pronation, and to stay away from highly cushioned, curved-lasted shoes that lack stability and control.
You should wear cushioned shoes if you are a runner who needs maximum midsole cushioning and minimum medial (arch-side) support. These shoes are best suited for biomechanically efficient runners (you don't overpronate), and midfoot or forefoot strikers. Runners who do best in cushioned shoes often have moderate to high arches.
It would be a good idea to visit a specialty shop or a shop that sells various foot wear and accessories for athletes and sports enthusiasts if you're unsure which category your feet fall in. There are several good brands and types of running/walking/athletic shoes, but the key is finding the right ones for you, whatever the brand. I love my New Balance, but you might be happier with a different brand.
