I run about 3 miles a day, usually everyday. How long do your shoes last you? I'm only getting about 2 months out of mine before they fall apart. I usually alternate between brands.

Running everyday about 2 months is probably long enough. You will develop wear patterns on the soles which can affect your gait. When you go to a new pair it may cause injury. I have 5 pair of shoes and wear a different pair each day. I also rotate them out of service for running before they get worn out. I just wear them around until they are really used up and then mow the grass in them. There are several good brands of shoes and I have a few I like that fit well.

The rule of thumb for an active runner is to change your shoes every 500 miles or so. Like oil changes, this is only a rough estimate, and only your feet know for sure. If the cushions start to wear too much, and the shoes start consistently cause your feet pain, then you have already gone too much.
If you run 3 miles a day for two months, that works out to be about 180 miles. Your shoes should definitely not wear out during that time. Even if you are a very heavy-set guy and you pound away at your shoes, I find it hard to believe that any halfway decent shoes would wear out in less than 200 miles. I recommend that you check to make sure that you are not prematurely wearing out your shoes by dragging your feet, for example.

You want to measure it by miles, not time.
You want to change shoes every 300 miles, at your rate it would be at 3-31/2 months.
