Track miles on pairs of shoes

[debrockb]

There should be a way to track the amount of km's (miles) you performed during your exercises. 

You should also implement a way to reset the counter increase you've swapped your shoes. Or have several counters for those who prepare a marathon and use two pairs of running shoes.

Thanks in advance!

Yes please. I currently do this with Runtastic but it would be great to ditch that for all Fitbit.

It would be useful to add a field in Fitbit app when a running or walking exercise is recorded to login the shoe I used and it keeps tracking of how many km/mile that the shoe was used for in order to replace it

I usually replace my running shoe after 500 km of running so its very useful to have Fitbit app helps in tracking this especially I already use it to track my running every time.

Still can't believe this hasn't been implemented yet.  Currently using Runkeeper which has this function.

I tried to tackle this problem for my first Fitbit app, so hopefully someone here finds it useful!

Link to unpublished app (still in review): https://gallery.fitbit.com/details/c87d4229-4e6e-488e-8c17-2ad4172b81ec

So far it lets you add up to 4 shoes, manually add / remove distance (increments of 1/4 of a mile), and will prompt you to sync up to the last hour of your distance traveled. I know it's a paid app, but I still want to improve on it before charging for it, so feel free to use the coupon, free-4-lyfe.

Looking to get more feedback and suggestions for improvement :]

Can an option be added to the exercise menu to track accumulated gear usage (ie Mileage on running shoes?).  And can this be applied to GPS and non-GPS workouts?  Maybe it could also be a block on the dashboard?  Similar to tracking how much water i drink, i would also like to track how many miles i have put on my running shoes with each run.

Hi @dcmatch, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about adding an exercise menu to track accumulated gear usage. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here to keep this board organized.

Hi l have a couple of suggestions for the app. I would love to keep track of how many days l have reached my daily step goal and a shoe tracker so l know when to replace my shoes.

I need a native function within Fitbit app to maintain active/retired shoes, active pairs which I can assign to a specific workout. I sprint and run on different surfaces (trail, pavement, track) and use specific types of running shoes for each workout type. Assigning a specific pair of shoes to a workout automatically assigned miles to that pair.

When time to purchase new shoes/orthotics, the salesperson seems to always want to know the milage on your current running shoes/orthotics. Can FB add a feature so one could record this data?

As a runner and hiker, I would like the ability to log my shoes and boots to my Fitbit account, so I can track how many miles I have worn my gear for and set an expiration on when I should buy new gear.
