Know exactly how many miles are left in every pair. Most shoe trackers count up. SoleWise counts down. Set a target, log your miles, and watch the number drop — so you always know which pairs are fresh, which are getting tired, and which ones have earned their retirement. For runners, walkers, and anyone who's ever stared at a beat-up pair of shoes and thought "wait, how many miles ARE on these?" HOW IT WORKS Add your shoes, set a target mileage, and start logging. Color-coded rings tell you the story at a glance. FEATURES Mileage countdown for every pair Apple Health sync — runs and walks pull in automatically Manual logging for treadmill sessions, hikes, neighborhood loops, whatever Home Screen widgets in small, medium, and large Mileage alerts before you blow past your target Miles or kilometers, your call Track your whole rotation, however big it's gotten Retire pairs to a tidy archive (no judgment on how many) APPLE HEALTH Connect once and your workouts show up automatically. Assign each one to the shoes you wore, and the countdown takes care of itself. No double-counting, no fiddly setup. WIDGETS Same color-coded rings as the app, right on your Home Screen. A glance is all it takes to spot the pair that's about to graduate. FREE. No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just a tool to know when to replace your shoes. Built for people who name their shoes. (Or at least know exactly which pair did the Tuesday tempo run.)

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SoleWise at none against Workout Builder's 1. Workout Builder's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
