How often do you replace your TT shoes?

If any part of the sole has worn out or if it is not stable, then I change it. Depending on the surface I play on, the shoes could last 200 or so hours.

About once every 50 practice sessions.

As soon as I see a plain surface on the part that makes contact with the floor I replace the shoes, or whenever I feel that the shoes are not gripping the floor anymore, I replace it.

In the US the inserts are sold at pharmacies but maybe in China you would have to get them online.  Here are a few links.  The prices vary a lot.  Some of them can cost almost as much as the shoes, but the ones I use cost about $20 in the US.  I replace about every 30 days.  The shoes I am using now, Tibhar Blue Spirit, seem to have insoles that last a longer time.

Being a marathon runner as well as a table tennis player, I can assure you running shoes wear out much faster. They only last a few hundred miles depending on how heavy you are, and your running style. Suppose you run 40-50 miles a week, that's not very long. Mind you, the sole does not wear out, but the cushioning is gone. And if you don't pay attention, you will have knee and shin splint issues.

change when they fall off

I usually change them 1) when there's a hole on the little toe, or 2) when I've worn the inside lining at the heel (not the sole, the lining against the Achille's tendon)

just regular running shoes here. 

I use indoor football shoes. I doubt TT shoes would make a big difference
