I noticed some wear and tear on my Asics shoes but am unsure if they are still usable or need replacing. How can I tell?

Look for obvious signs of wear and tear on your Asics shoes to tell if they need to be replaced:

If the white midsole can be seen through the outer sole, the tread is smooth where it used to be bumpy, or the midsole is creaking, especially where your foot hits the ground or the ball of your foot, it's probably time for a new pair. In addition, rips or holes in the toe box or upper, as well as uneven wear on both feet, are clear signs that the shoes need to be replaced.

In addition to what you see, pay attention to what your body is telling you. If you're getting more blisters or aches and pains than normal, especially on the ball of your foot or heel, it could mean that your shoes aren't giving your feet enough support and cushioning. Last, but not least, it's probably time to get new shoes if you can't remember when you last bought them or where they came from. These signs will help you figure out if your Asics shoes can still be used or if they need to be replaced.
