Running shoes should be replaced every 350-500 miles.This varies to the weight and size of the runner. The heavy runner and hard foot striker should replace a shoe sooner in the 350-mile range, rather than 500 miles.Injuries seen when shoes are not replaced frequently are: plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, shin splints, neuromas, and achilles tendontis.
Make sure you visit some of the local specialty running stores for proper running shoe fit. They should measure your feet in both length and width.
