What does do you wear, and do they live up to their mileage rating?

Nike free 3 v5...I know, I run and wear Nike.
I believe they are rated 3 to 5 hundred.

Not bad. How long does it take you to wear them out?

About four months. I have heard people say it is good to rest shoes for a day before running again? I have been running more consecutive days recently. I kind of don't want my shoes to know there is another pair in a box that looks just like them.

I've never heard that before.

I think I must have read it in an obscure article and adopted it as fact. It took a couple searches to even find this.

I can see their point about giving shoes time to dry out, but what I thought was dumb was the part about the extra cushioning preventing injury. That just means that you are relying on the cushioning to compensate for bad running form. Resting your shoes isn't going to help with your running form.
