1. Worn-Out Soles

One of the clearest indicators it's time to replace your footwear is worn-out soles. Take a look at the tread: is it smooth or uneven? If so, your shoes are no longer offering the same level of grip and stability as they did in the past.

The lack of traction can lead to discomfort with each step and slips, especially if you're walking over wet or slick surfaces. That's why any bald spots suggest they're no longer providing the support and safety you need.

2. Heel Breakdown

Since we naturally walk with heel-to-toe strides, the heel tends to be the first part of a shoe that shows signs of wear. With every single step you take, your heel absorbs a significant amount of your body weight and gradually breaks down the material.

Some wear is completely normal, but it becomes a problem when the heel starts to lose its shape or, again, the tread pattern is too worn. A broken-down heel isn't giving you any cushioning or support, so replacing your old pair is smart to prevent discomfort or potential foot problems.

3. Uneven Wear Pattern

Now, after taking a closer look at your footwear, you might notice the inside or outside of your sole is wearing down faster than the center. This may be due to walking pattern imbalances.

For instance, if your ankle rolls inward, it's known as pronation; meanwhile, rolling outwards is supination. Usually caused by muscle weakness, these imbalances put uneven pressure on your shoes, meaning one side of the sole wears out faster than the other.

Uneven wear is a sign you're no longer receiving balanced support and need to invest in a new pair of kicks.

4. Squeaking

If your shoes were silent when you got them, then randomly started squeaking or creaking, that's an indicator that the internal structure or sole is breaking down.

These sounds typically happen when the materials inside the shoe no longer fit together properly, or the cushioning has deteriorated. Apart from the sound just being annoying, persistent squeaking suggests you probably need a replacement.

5. Odors

We put our shoes through the ringer on a daily basis. Not only do they encounter outside elements like mud, rain, and snow, but they also deal with our own sweat inside. If your footwear has lingering odors that don't go away even after cleaning, it's a red flag that they've simply absorbed too much moisture or bacteria.

Shoes can trap sweat, dirt, and moisture, creating an environment that's perfect for bacteria to thrive. And after a while, odor-fighting products might not even work against stubborn smells. Take that as your sign to find a new pair.

6. Decreased Athletic Performance

When it specifically comes to athletic shoes, you'll notice a drop in performance. Your sneakers might've once been bouncy and very cushioned, giving you a literal spring in your step.

Then, over time, you may notice that they start to feel flat or less responsive. The energy return decreases, and you no longer feel the same level of comfort from the cushioning. This means your sneakers are no longer suited for high-impact activities, and replacing them is crucial to preventing any possible injuries.

7. Workouts Are Painful

Have you ever experienced a sharp stabbing pain in your arch or heel while exercising? Your shoes' lack of support is probably the culprit.

This type of pain is usually associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis, which can be exacerbated by worn-out footwear. For your next pair, make sure you pick out shoes with proper arch support and cushioning for a pain-free workout.

8. You've Hit Your Mileage Limit

Lastly, it's important to track how much wear your shoes have experienced, even if they still feel comfortable. That's because most walking shoes are designed to last around 500 miles, which equates to about six months of use (depending on how active you are).

If you haven't been keeping track of your mileage, that's okay. This metric is roughly equivalent to walking about 30 minutes a day or three to four hours per week. If this sounds like your routine, you can aim to get new shoes every six months for the best support and comfort.

It’s true – Trader Joe’s Chocolate Mousse Eggs have officially arrived! Each egg-shaped treat boasts layers of “velvety” chocolate cake alongside a “silky” chocolate mousse that makes each bite so delicious. What’s more is each egg is adorably decorated with pink and green accents that make ‘em perfect for springtime snackin’.

This returning TJ’s dessert is just one of their tasty, mousse-y offerings. Trader Joe’s tends to release mousse cakes on a seasonal basis, and shoppers always love them. They’ve launched raspberry ones, pumpkin-shaped ones, floral ones, and even a big heart-shaped mousse cake for Valentine's Day!

One Trader Joe’s fan on Reddit verified that the new Chocolate Mousse Eggs are “so delicious.” Their warning to other sweet tooths? “Run, don’t walk, to get your hands on the Chocolate Mousse Eggs!”

“They're great!” another user agreed. “They remind me of Hostess in a very good way.”

“These are dangerous,” one more person commented.”Just got home and I ate 2 already. I both love and hate you for posting.”

Trader Joe’s fan account @traderjoesobsessedshared the new find with their Instagram followers, saying they’re “so delicious and the perfect size.” They also noted that the chocolatey eggs freeze well: “I put them into 2 zip lock bags and save them for Easter.“

The new Chocolate Mousse Eggs come in a pack of 6 for $3.99. The pack features three different decorative designs, perfect for putting out on your Easter charcuterie board or dessert table this year!

You’re definitely going to want to grab several packs to munch on before the big day’s here, though. Plus, the Chocolate Mousse Eggs are a seasonal, limited-time item, so they’ll likely be gone before you know it! Again – run, don’t walk.
