Do I have to wait until I buy new shoes?

A number of people have asked if they need to wait to use their Shoe Odometer until they buy a new pair of shoes.  

You don't have to wait. You can use the Shoe Odometer with your current pair of shoes.  Just estimate how much wear you have left in your current shoes and count down from there. Example: I think I've only used one quarter of the wear life of my shoes. They have seventy five percent wear remaining.  In this case, I'd put the Shoe Odometer on my current pair of shoes and when the Shoe Life screen registers 25%, I know I am ready for a new pair of shoes.  

Hope this helps.
