Answer 1

With spikes, it usually is when they fall to bits. They last very well.

With your road flats. WOuld need to look at your shoes closely. Also if you start getting sore calves in a race then that is usually an indication that they are at the end of there life. They do last a while providing you just use them for racing.

Answer 2

are the bottoms worn out? that's when to replace
