What is the lifespan of these running shoes?

Are these shoes suitable for overpronation?
These trainers are generally designed for neutral pronation. If you require stability for overpronation, you might need to consider a different model.
What does the 'seamless overlays' feature do?

Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Running shoes have a limited lifespan. Consider replacing them after 300-500 miles of use or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole provides grip on dry surfaces. Be cautious when running or walking on wet or slippery conditions, as the tread pattern may not offer optimal traction.
