Mino is a revolutionary product that will tell you when your running shoes are worn out.
The mino is calibrated to count 400 miles worth of compressions to the mid-sole of your shoe. When we did our research, manufacturers suggest swapping out shoes anywhere between 300-500 miles. We split the difference and took 400. We count compressions vs miles b/c each runner is different and can wear through shoes at a different pace. Each mile is counted at 600 steps per mile, which is the average amount of steps a runner makes (taking into account height, weight, gait length, etc etc). Some take more, some take less. We took the average. There are 6 progressive LED’s that light up once you hit a certain amount of compressions per the miles you have run. We count walk steps and run steps differently in the algorithm and average it all out b/c we have found some people walk and run in the shoes (and cross-train). We recommend every 3-4 weeks, lift up the sock liner, press and hold the blue “O” on mino to display the lights and see how far along you are
You put Mino under the insole in your tennis shoe. You wont even notice that it is there. I have used mine while walking, and I could not feel it. When if I jogged, which puts extra pressure on my heels, I still did not feel it.
Now, Mino is best used in new shoes as they can not tell how many compressions you have on your old running shoes.
Just install Mino under your insole and head out for your run. About once a month, check to see how many lights are on. When you see red, its time to replace the shoes.
