Me it is only running, then when they are retired, used for work shoes.
Only for running nothing else.

Same here, running only. when retired the most recent pair becomes my bum around shoes and i have one pair that sticks around for slopping around in mud conditions, wading a creek while fishing, that type of stuff.

I have 2 pairs currently in use now only for running and nothing else. The old pairs are used for yard wear or casual wear.

I've given a couple pairs to my 9 year old daughter. Now, however,
they are too small for her.

I have a retired pair that I use exclusively for riding the bike. They are very light, and were still in good condition save for the 400+miles I had on them.
I have a pair with about 100+miles that I am keeping just in case, and one brand new pair in a box.

I'm so new to running that I have just a few pairs in circulation:
NB 850: 1st pair. Trail shoes that eventually got used during a hike in Shawnee Nat'l Forest. They got soaked in the creeks and forgotten about in a plastic bag. I've been airing them out and using Lysol to get rid of the funk. :P
NB 715: Get used for rainy runs and sometimes worn to work.
NB 716: Current pair. I do wear these to work and elsewhere, aside from running and cycling. My Yeti-like feet keep "growing" so fast that I can't wear any of my non-sneakers, except for a pair of sandals. Time to break down and do some (dreaded) shoe shopping.
Have you all heard of Shoes for Africa? It's a program that sends donated shoes and clothes to needy athletes.
