Back-to-school sneakers should be versatile styles that provide all-day comfort for learning and play, such as the Nike Air Force 1, Nike Pegasus, Nike Huarache, Nike Blazer and Nike Air Max 90. How Often Should Kids' Shoes Be Replaced? In general, athletic shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles of wear, as the shoe's cushioning and support mechanisms break down over time. For growing kids, though, the [Cleveland Clinic](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/find-best-shoe-fit-child/) recommends that shoes be replaced more frequently, as children's feet can grow about half a size in three to four months.
