How long do cycling shoes last?

Question: I was told by a bike shop that my shoes where at the end of their life. The shoes seem fine to me, they don't have any visible damage. Are they like running shoes, where you need to replace them every few months, or should they last a year or two?

Answer: In my experience they are NOT like running shoes which are replaced with respect to mileage. I ride quite a lot, and with care get 2 years or more form shoes. But, I don't walk around much in them, which makes a difference. The cleat is the part that often takes the abuse, and that can be replaced. I attached a link to a nice article about cycling shoes.
