It's pretty simple—every time you run, walk, hike, moonwalk, or whatever you do in your shoes, add the distance of your workout to your shoes and Treadwear will let you know when they need to be replaced. Prevent injuries. Foster footwear mindfulness. Keep your kicks fresh. Standard Features: • Auto-magically import mileage from your Health workouts (most popular workout tracking apps add data to Health, so you're probably covered). • Add workouts manually by filling out a form [yawn]. It's easy tho. • Get notifications about new Health workouts so you never forget to add your mileage or check on your shoes' inevitable decay. • The very fancy Shoe Retirement Predictor estimates when your shoes will wear out so you can add a retail therapy event to your calendar. • Reminisce about the good times by viewing your shoe's full workout history. Do more with a Treadwear Unlimited subscription! • Shoe metrics! View the performance of your shoes over time across several metrics—Cadence, Pace, Speed, Stride Length, Vertical Oscillation, Running Power • Add mileage with EXACTLY ZERO TAPS by designating a pair of shoes as the default for runs, walks, or hikes. • Your Home Screen is as personal as your shoe size, so you can pick an app icon that best matches your personal aesthetic. • Shoe Freshness countdown tells you when your recently-worn shoes have a spring in their step. • Import a perfect shot of your shoes from the Internet—no camera required. Think Treadwear needs to do something else? Let me know!

Sneaker Tracker is built to help you track the mileage of your sneakers! In case you didn’t know, I sure didn’t not too long ago, you should replace your running shoes between 300 and 500 miles of use. Your shoes cushion your body from the impact of running, but eventually this cushion wears out and your body will bear the full impact of each run. This app exists because I didn’t feel like handwriting every single workout I did and how many miles I ran. Instead, I wanted my Apple Watch and iPhone to help me out. And so here it is, Sneaker Tracker! By default, this app will allow you to manually log workouts. And if you give it permission, Sneaker Tracker will watch for new workouts you log into the Health app. Whenever you log a workout, you should assign it to the shoe you used. From there the app will keep record of your milage and send you notifications when you reach your replacement range. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
