I read this great article on the NY Times Well Blog about when to replace running shoes. I've found that my running style really wears down the forefoot pretty quickly, I often get about 200-225 miles out of a pair of shoes.
This would take about 2-3 months, and was getting expensive. Fortunately, I was working in a running store and able to get them at a reduced rate. But still, it was about $500 a year just in shoes...and they say this is an easy sport.
