Geara tracks the miles and segments on your running shoes — synced straight from Strava — so you always know how your shoes are performing, when it's time to retire a pair, and you never lose track of what's in rotation. TRACK EVERY MILE Connect your Strava account and Geara will automatically pull your runs and any shoes you have linked. Or assign your shoes on Geara! See weekly mileage trends, a rotation heatmap of which shoes you're wearing on which days, and per-shoe wear charts over time. KNOW WHEN TO RETIRE A PAIR Set mileage goals per shoe and get a clear picture of wear before it becomes an injury risk. Compare two shoes side-by-side with fitness-adjusted performance trends to see how your times hold up as mileage builds. BUILD YOUR GEAR HISTORY Log every shoe you've run in, track colorways, and celebrate milestones — Geara marks your achievements (distance, elevation gained, and more) with shareable cards built for posting. DISCOVER AND REVIEW Browse shoe reviews from the community — star ratings, pros/cons, and real mileage-at-review data — before you buy your next pair. STAY CONNECTED Follow other runners, share your gear and milestones, and comment on posts from people training like you. Geara syncs read-only with Strava — we never post on your behalf.
