I'm another fan of the Hardrocks.  I like to switch out my shoes
more often than 1000 miles though--more like every 500-600 miles.  I
have found that the Hardrocks look much better after 500 miles than
other shoes I've tried so I could probably push them to 700-800.
After getting a stress fracture, I'm a bit cautious with my footwear.

Another data point:  When I was in Mammoth Lakes this year, the
outfitter couldn't say enough good things to say about the Hardrocks.
Lots of people need new shoes by the time they get to Mammoth and
he thought that the Hardrocks they he was seeing were in really good
shape coming all the way from the border.
