Replace your running shoes every 6 months (on average but depends if you run a lot). Wear different shoes for indoor training, outdoor training and the same for socks. This is subject to you training goals however everybody should consider keeping their feet healthy and hygienic. Poor foot movements can lead to soreness such as blisters and infection, knee, hip or back pain.
I have also noticed people using old trainers when lifting weights in the gym. Squatting and lifting weights in poor footwear. This will also lead to poor technique, postural issues and probable injury long term.
You feet are your base of support. If the base of anything is uneven the result is problems further up the chain. Think about a table with uneven feet. The top will rock. using this analogy and applying it to your body is no different. If your feet are uneven, your hips will lack stability. Hence the back pain, especially lower back.
