Shoes

Tempovi keeps count of the distance on each pair of running shoes, from the runs in Apple Health. Open it from Settings › Training › Running › Shoes, or from the 👟 button on any run.

Add a pair

Tap ＋ Add shoes and fill in:

• Brand and model, for example “Brooks Ghost 16”.
• Type: road, trail, racing, track, treadmill or other.
• Bought / first worn: the date you started running in them.
• Warn me at (km): the distance at which you want a reminder. It starts at 700 km. Many running shoes are replaced somewhere between 500 and 800 km, and lighter racing shoes sooner.
• ★ Daily pair: switch it on for the pair you run in day to day. New runs get the daily pair. Leave it off for shoes you only use for some runs, such as a carbon-plate race shoe.
• Optional: the distance already on them (for example from before you used Tempovi), the price and the store. With a price, the list also shows the cost per km.

Adding a pair you already own

If the purchase date is in the past and you ran since then, Tempovi asks whether to give these shoes those runs:

• Assign gives them every run from the purchase date on, except runs you set by hand.
• Only new runs leaves your past runs as they are.

Which shoes a run gets

A new run automatically gets your daily pair, marked ★ in the list. To make another pair the daily one, open it and switch on ★ Daily pair. That only changes runs from then on: past runs keep their shoes. If no daily pair is set (or it was retired), new runs get your most recently bought pair.

For a run in other shoes, such as a race in carbon plates, change it afterwards: open the run and tap the shoe button under the run type at the top. You can pick another pair, No shoes, or Automatic to go back to the daily pair.

Mileage warnings

After the run that takes a pair past its warning distance, you get one notification. Raise the warning distance and you are warned again at the new distance. To stop the warnings:

• for one pair: open it and switch on Mute warnings;
• for all pairs: switch off Mileage warnings at the top of the Shoes screen.

Retire a pair

Open the pair and tap Retire these shoes. New runs stop getting them (a retired daily pair stops being the daily pair), and their history and distance stay. Retired pairs are listed under Retired, where you can bring them back. Delete removes a pair from every run; retire it instead if you want to keep its history.

Good to know

• Only runs count, including treadmill runs. Walks and other workouts don’t add distance to your shoes.
• The distance comes from your runs in Apple Health, so a run’s distance correction in Apple Health shows up here too.
• Shoes are included in Backup & Restore.
