Monitor stride rate to prevent excessive stress from over-striding. Read More…
When over-striding, a runner is essentially braking on every stride which can lead to injury. Please take a look at the Blog to find many great articles written on this subject.
Peace of mind knowing that your shoes are protecting you to their fullest.
Ease of Use

The Shoe Odometer monitors your steps when it senses movement.
After two minutes of no movement, the Shoe Odometer goes into sleep mode.Just put it on and go. Read More…
The Shoe Odometer comes with default settings. Some users initially use the default settings and then individualize with their next pair of shoes.
No more guessing; tells you when you need new shoes.
Lightweight - forget you have it on.
Display screens - Simple and straightforward.
Never log shoe miles again.
Individualized to you
Steps wear out your shoes - not miles. Read More…
Miles are the unit of measurement commonly used to determine the amount of use in a running/walking shoe. This unit of measurement is used because it familiar to runners and walkers. However, it is the number of midsole deformation cycles (steps) and the force applied (weight of user) that degrades the shoe’s midsole. Using miles as the unit of measurement can lead to miscalculations. The number of steps per mile can vary between users by as much as 800 steps per mile. The Shoe Odometer solves this problem by using steps to determine when a shoe’s midsole is estimated to be past its useful life.
Accounts for your weight and wear style. Read More…
A shoe life calculator is available to determine the number of estimated steps in the life of a shoe. The weight of the user, excessive wear patterns and shoe rotation are factors used to determine estimated shoe life. Please see the Calculator button on the website.
Tracks your stride rate. Read More…
Knowing your individual stride rate is important for injury prevention and running economy. The Shoe Odometer measures your stride rate over the entire duration of your work out, but omits short pauses like stopping at a stoplight. It is more accurate and much easier than manually counting.
No two runners or walkers are the same
For Walkers
More accurate than a pedometer. Read More…
Pedometers have inconsistent results. To count steps accurately, pedometers need to hang vertically from the waist, aligned over the knee. The Shoe Odometer’s results are consistent because it is worn on the shoe, the same way every time. The size or shape of the user does not interfere with the results.
Multiple layers of clothing can interfere with pedometer results.
Pedometers need the user to be wearing clothing with a waist or a belt. Read More…
Pedometers may become unattached from the waist by accidental encounters. Wearing the Shoe Odometer on the shoe eliminates this problem.
Emits no noise. Read More…
The pendulum device in a pedometer makes a noise with each step; the Shoe Odometer emits no noise.
Moved from shoe to shoe easily. Read More…
The design of the Shoe Odometer allows the user to securely tie the Shoe Odometer in place or easily detach to use on another pair of shoes.
Designed to last longer than pedometers. Read More…
There are a number of moving parts in a pendulum device. These parts can prematurely wear out before the rest of the pedometer. The Shoe Odometer is electronic and has only one moving part, an omni-directional motion sensor that has little chance of wearing out.
Cost Effective / Green
Expected battery life from 6 to 10 years. Read More…
A great deal of research went into developing the Shoe Odometer to use a minimal amount of power. Our goal was to develop a product that didn’t require frequent battery changes; thereby minimizing the effect battery disposal has on our environment.
