At Brooks, we know we make the best running gear in the world, and we are willing to stand behind that belief with a return policy to match. Brooks offers the Run Happy Promise—a promise that you'll love your gear, and if you don't, we will take it back for up to 90 days after purchase. Run in it, sweat in it, inside, outside, in the rain—if it doesn't perform the way it should, send it back.
In general, the expected lifespan of performance running shoes is 300–500 miles, which can vary based on weather, surface, and temperature, among other factors. Running shoes are designed and manufactured for forward linear movement, so other uses (for example, sports that may require lots of lateral movement) may result in wear that is unexpected. Sports bras and apparel, especially those used in heavy rotation, are generally ready for replacement after 50 washes and 50 dries, which is usually about one year.
