Running shoe tracker · iPhone
Outsole counts the kilometers on every pair from Apple Health, warns you before a shoe wears out, and tells you which one to grab for tomorrow's run.
See it in action
A 27-second tour of auto-assigned runs, mileage alerts, your rotation and where you really run.
Automatic
Outsole doesn't record runs. It picks them up from Apple Health, whether they come from your Apple Watch or any running app, and suggests the shoe you most likely wore. One tap to confirm.
Mileage
Every pair has its own goal and a progress bar that fills as you run. Outsole nudges you at 80% and again at 100%, so you replace a shoe because the numbers say so, not because your knees do.
Rotation
Give each pair a job, like daily trainer, tempo, long run, race or trail. Outsole learns what you actually wear them for, suggests the right one after each run, and spots the gaps in your rotation.
Surfaces
Optional surface analysis matches each route to OpenStreetMap, so you can see how much of a shoe's life was road, gravel or trail. Your trail shoes finally get the credit they deserve.
Dig into how each shoe performs, and compare pairs side by side.
See total distance, time, pace and climb for any period, which pair you wear most, and how the distance splits across your shoes.
Put any two pairs next to each other and see how they compare on distance, pace and more.
See what each pair really costs per kilometer as you run, plus your own ratings and notes.
Keep one shoe, a rotation or all your shoes on the Home Screen and glance at the mileage.
Share a card for any shoe with its distance, runs and story. Great for the retirement post.
Track insoles separately and move them between shoes without losing their mileage.
Switch between kilometers and miles anytime.
Screens
Most road running shoes are retired somewhere between 500 and 800 km (300 to 500 miles), but it depends on the shoe, your weight, your stride and the surface. In Outsole you set your own goal for each pair and get a heads-up at 80% and again at 100%.
No. Outsole picks up runs from Apple Health, so anything your Apple Watch or a running app saves to Health shows up. You then assign each run to the shoe you wore, or accept the suggestion. You can also add a run by hand.
Yes. Connect Strava once and Outsole brings in your shoes and their existing mileage, so you do not have to start every pair from zero.
You give each shoe a job, such as daily trainer, tempo, long run, race or trail. Outsole learns what each pair is actually used for and suggests the best fit after every run. It also points out gaps in your rotation and when to start a replacement.
Surface analysis is optional. It matches a run's route to OpenStreetMap to work out how much was road, gravel or trail. To do this, the route is sent to public OpenStreetMap servers. Turn it off in Settings and nothing is sent.
Your Health data, runs and routes stay on your device. Shoes you add (brand, model, total distance and your ratings) are shared anonymously, without a name or email, to help build the shoe catalog.
Outsole is for iPhone and needs iOS 26 or later. It is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese and Portuguese (Brazil).
