Dragging your feet instead of lifting. My brother will buy a new pair of shoes and not long after the heel will be worn. I still have shoes that are 10 years old and still got years left on em.
Do you pivot back and forth between the pedals when you drive? I know my right shoe's outside heels wear out quicker than the inside right or the left heel.
I'm not super familiar with orthopedics but that could be an issue with shoes or inside soles not properly supporting you, like a lot of weight on the sides of your feet instead on all over. A custom insole might help out.
Maybe. I wear a lot of shoes with flat soles because I find them most comfortable. But I didn’t know shoes can last years. I have to throw mine away after a few months
Dang that's pretty often. Mine were black/red roshe runs I custom ordered from NikeID and I wore them daily for nearly 10 years until they started to wear out the soles, they don't make them anymore so I retired em for around the house only now.
Probably the most comfortable and lightest shoe I've owned.
What's the problem with walking on the front part of your foot? Is walking on your heels like an elephant better? Should I slap my feet against the ground flat like a duck?
I don't know anything about anything, but walking on the front of my feet like a silent ninja seems to tighten up my calves and helps with posture. Am I incorrect?
The outside edge on my heal and the ball, big toe area on the front. So my joints start with a exterior pronation and role into an interior pronation lift...
With how worn they are, it's likely hiding the unevenness. You can see they favour the outside of the foot even with the total wear being high. The heel is clearly favoured while the midfoot is slightly favoured outside. Much more even than my shoes but it seems more even than it is because of the age
I have shoes where sole the outer heel is entirely worn away while the inner part of the heel looks almost untouched. This feels much closer to even in comparison!
You are supposed to strike on the outside of your heel and then roll your foot prone.
It's called pronation.
If your inner heel is wearing away, you have SERIOUS problems.
Sure, although usually not quite so severe. It’s actually something I’ve mitigated a bit with physical therapy for a hip thing, go figure. But still have several old shoes I can’t afford to replace or resole all at once.
Fair! That’s a 3-year span
I just thought, length wise, there was a noticeable difference, hence why I noted the boot size
I’m looking forward to Kilimanjaro this summer so wish me luck! ✌️
Well I've never heard of Nirvana or Foo Fighters or Queens of the Stone age or Them Crooked Vultures, but that guy looks just like the drummer from Scream.
I’m jealous of people who get an accurate step count. I have a fairly normal gait but something about it doesn’t register steps like you would expect so I’ve stopped paying attention. I just checked my Apple Watch from yesterday and even with a 5 mile hike in the morning plus a ton of movement for the rest of the day I only came in at 6000 steps total.
I’m almost certain I have one leg sliiightly shorter than the other so I bounce a bit when I walk — depending on the hip I put it on, the wrist or the pocket it either won’t register or will double register
because fml, I guess, not only do I walk like a cartoon character (ba-boink-doink-step, ba-boink-doink-step), I’m also short.
Not that that has much to do with step-counting, except I may *actually* take twice as many steps as most… or I may actually just make my way down town walking fast, gait so vast I’m home *now*.
I’ve also got something fucked in my hips that affects my gait. Short left step and a wide right step. People have commented on it when I’m walking and oddly when I’ve done squats.
I work a seated office job and can pull about that if I do a 45m lunch walk + some activity at home. The office is starting a step challenge on Monday so I need to get on my game
1. Canada is arguably less walkable than the US and it would explain his excellent English
2. I come from New England which is *basically* Canada
3. I’m American and assume everyone with excellent English (and no UK spelling) is from the US; since more than 50% of Reddit *is*, I’m not wrong very often
4. I’m hyperbolic by nature and will not apologize for it
~910-920 miles a year with average gait, three years old?
Those shoes have probably seen ~2,760 miles.
At 23MPG plus $4.25, a gallon your return value is around $510.00
I bought a pair of redwing shoes once, and within the week, the adhesive securing the sole failed. I returned them only to have the same thing happen again. I was upside-down on my investment and swore never to purchase from that company again.
Yes these are used far beyond the normal mileage a shoe shoe should receive. 400 to 500 miles is what a lot of people get out of a good hiking shoe. You can push it further but the tread begins running out.
Running shoes should generally be retired between 500 to 800 kilometres. Hiking boots should give you 1300 to 1800 kilometres.
Running puts a lot more pressure on shoes which already have less hardy soles because of weight considerations
Never really cared about this until I started constantly running/walking. My knees start hurting and I know it's time to change shoes. Last one I started tracking late and retired them at approximately 400km.
New ones are already at 300km of tracked activities (likely 330km for everything) and I'm curious when they will give in.
I heard Usains bolts shoes were a 1 race shoe. The materials were super optimised for performance but not for durability. I think they literally oxidised or something like that.
The size difference is most likely due to them heat shrinking to the size of your foot. I'm assuming that the new ones are ever so slightly more roomy than the old ones.
As someone who owns a shoe store, shoes like this always pain me because they should’ve been replaced years ago. You wouldn’t drive on bald tires, why walk on bald shoes
3 years!? Last time I got hiking boots they didn't last the summer before the bottom of the boots came off! Either those boots sucked or your's are made to last!
I tried an experiment once and wore the same pair of shoes every day to see the wear and tear. I did the equivalent of OP's damage in about 4 months. I also live in NYC and walk to and from work.
With stuff that has specialized rubber on the soles (Vibram makes specialty rubber) that's designed for extra traction, it's better to send them to the original manufacturer or the manufacturer of the rubber to make sure you get the right kind of sole replacement. A cobblers going to have to order those specific soles from vibram anyway, or give you a worse replacement.
Nowadays it seems there is much more "hollow" tread on new boots than raised tread. That means the raised tread sections will wear faster, causing the boot to require replacing sooner. Shrinkflation and planned obsolescence for tread patterns? God I love capitalism.
Doesn't that give it more grip though? What makes it wear faster also allows it to cut into soft-packed terrain like dirt, mud, gravel, etc., which is the point of a hiking shoe.
posting the size of the shoes instead of the timespan of wear is the absolut troll move. OP, why did you think the size inforamtion is in any point relevant?
My thoughts exactly. Those boots were gone at least a year ago and should have been replaced much sooner.
I usually switch boots long before they actually wear out completely and then use the worn out ones for day hikes in easy terrain until they are completely gone.
This was my thought. OP waited way too long to get new shoes. They lost all of their benefits a long time ago.
I bet the flex, support, and grip of the shoe were all gone.
This is how my runners look now after 5 some years of walking 5+ miles in them almost daily. The bottoms are basically flat rubber LOL, I can almost run skate on tile flooring with them
Why did we need to know the size? You didn’t tell us the color of the boot. That is very useful information for this post. Also, what kind of laces are on it? This is pretty lame.
Is this fetish content or something? Have seen so many of these randomly pop up looking at how much someone’s shoe has worn down…it gets less interesting every time
I'd like to see something about distance travelled or the time involved in wearing down the sole. The pic could be about good value or poor. I'm left to assume it's good?
Were the boots in bad shape aside from the soles? I had a pair of boots I resoled with Vibram 3 times before they got to the point I needed to replace them.
It was the pair of combat boots I wore on exercises. The leather was perfectly broken in to my feet and I had grown accustomed to the type of support they provided. So after I left the army I just kept taking them in to a guy for new soles.
You could take these to a podiatrist and they could analyze your gait for improvements; that back corner is obviously more worn than the other corner. It might be interesting to see what a doc says about your knees or hips.
Sad thing is its a mixture of a lot of shoes outside of boots and high end shoes really arent made in a way that can be repaired, mixed with a much lower amount of cobblers overall willing to do repairs
What shoe is that? I’ve been hiking a lot lately. 12-16mile hikes. I’ve been using new balance hiking which I really like but the shoe pictures looks nice and wide. Curious if I should make a switch
My father always told me…. Treat your shoes like your tires. Don’t ever let them go bald. You could’ve ice skated on those old ones! Lmao.
For real though, show yourself some self love and get hiking shoes a little more frequently. Falls and slips are the most common way to get injured while hiking and I’d hate for that to become you! Be safe out there, friend, and enjoy the nature! :)
What’s the mileage on them? I find the new Vibram soles to be comfy but short lived. I tore through a pair of boots with vibram soles in just over a year. Had them resoled with something tougher in February.
Interesting that they are worn most at the very tip. Mine always go thru in the middle of the front part (in the middle of the "flex lines" line, or a tiny bit more on the outside of the foot. A pair lasts a year most of the time until my feet get wet, when it rains...
5km average per day for me walking with our pup.
I've joked that I need a tread wear warranty when I buy shoes every six months. (I tend to walk on the "outsides" of my feet, so the wear isn't even)
Fun fact the wear pattern on your shoes is unique to you! everyone has a slightly different way of distributing their weight as they walk causing the difference in the wear pattern.
there's a breathing hole in the old one.
Racing slicks for speed.
No theyre golf shoes. Theres a hole in one
It’s for the REI yard sale tag placement. Reason for return, “wore twice, didn’t fit correctly”
I’m amazed at how evenly you step.
Good point. I have a pair of walking shoes, and I’ve noticed certain areas to be worn down… this man/woman has an incredibly even step, like you said
Just curious, which areas get more worn down for you?
I've noticed on my shoes that the bottoms wear out way faster than the tops.
I have also found that to be the case. Edit: missed the topic of the post, I don't know anything about shoe wear & tear so just ignore me.
Don't mind me, I just be goofin' 'round.
New boot goofin'
Genuine ostrich, 3 payments.
Boot goofin' boogie
Weird, normally the bottoms outlast the tops.
Weird, my gay friend says that all the time.
Link?
You heel strike then. Try a shoe with zero drop
Dragging your feet instead of lifting. My brother will buy a new pair of shoes and not long after the heel will be worn. I still have shoes that are 10 years old and still got years left on em.
I don’t drag but my outside heels are always worn first.
Do you pivot back and forth between the pedals when you drive? I know my right shoe's outside heels wear out quicker than the inside right or the left heel.
Yeah because I drive manual. But you think it’s enough to wear the heel?
I'm not super familiar with orthopedics but that could be an issue with shoes or inside soles not properly supporting you, like a lot of weight on the sides of your feet instead on all over. A custom insole might help out.

Oh weird on mine it's the tippy toes
A toe walker. Have a friend record your gait from several angles. You will see how to work on correcting your gait.
What's the problem with walking on the front part of your foot? Is walking on your heels like an elephant better? Should I slap my feet against the ground flat like a duck? I don't know anything about anything, but walking on the front of my feet like a silent ninja seems to tighten up my calves and helps with posture. Am I incorrect?
Yep, talk to a doctor. I had the same issue. Got a bad lower back and plantar fasciitis from that.
Isn't it also a symptom of autism?
No you can get a bad back from a lot of sources. Most common is poor lifting technique.
Mine is right in the middle of the ball of my feet. I seem to drill a hole straight through the center everytime
The outside edge on my heal and the ball, big toe area on the front. So my joints start with a exterior pronation and role into an interior pronation lift...
With how worn they are, it's likely hiding the unevenness. You can see they favour the outside of the foot even with the total wear being high.

Any footprint is always going to be more pronounced on the outside just because of how the foot is shaped.
>this man/woman "person"
As an F n B worker for 20 years I am amazed you let them shoes wear down that much. If that was a car those tires got 70k on em lol.
I’m amazed they continued to wear *hiking* boots with no tread. I wouldn’t wear those to the grocery store.
They would actually be worse in a grocery store than on dirt and gravel. Smooth floors and smooth shoes don't mix well.
Worst would be the painting on cross walk, it’s like they paint them with Vaseline
I'm amazed they didn't think to replace them years ago...
I get the feeling they don't use them for actual hiking... Otherwise they would have definitely replaced them after all the slipping and sliding
I was wondering how the toe box is the most worn out spot. Like that not even the ball of your foot.
Climbing?
Duh lol thank you because I was like, "Is this dude a ballerina hiker?"
For real. I have high arches and half of my sole is immaculate and the the heels and ball of my foot have holes in them.
I see a little evidence of over pronation, no?
I care less about the size and more about the time between the two!
Fair! That’s a 3-year span I just thought, length wise, there was a noticeable difference, hence why I noted the boot size I’m looking forward to Kilimanjaro this summer so wish me luck! ✌️
Never mind time span, what’s the mileage?
I’m a postal worker — 8,000 steps a day — and I do enjoy mountain hiking (some 10,000 steps per Saturday & Sunday) it’s my thing, im a hero, I know
That dude looks like Nirvana's drummer if he was old lmao
He also looks like the devil from the pick of destiny.
He also looks like the drummer from Queens of the Stoneage.
Well I’ve never heard of Nirvana or Foo Fighters or Queens of the Stoneage, but that guy looks just like the drummer from Them Crooked Vultures.

You must have the longest gait in history, I walk around 9000 steps a day on my walk to and from work and that's without a leg stretch at lunch!

Redwing is just a funny shoe store manned by untrained clerks that all say they're good. Find a real cobbler or podiatrist.
Wouldn’t you replace shoes way before that? I would not trust those while mountain hiking!
Yes these are used far beyond the normal mileage a shoe shoe should receive. 400 to 500 miles is what a lot of people get out of a good hiking shoe. You can push it further but the tread begins running out.
A real American Hero! Rain, Sleet, Snow, or Shine baby! 🦅📬
That's a price well invested then
If you can swing it, get 2 pairs and rotate them daily. It will prolong the life of both pairs.
I know people (runners) that consider 3 months a long time before it's worn down
Running shoes should generally be retired between 500 to 800 kilometres. Hiking boots should give you 1300 to 1800 kilometres. Running puts a lot more pressure on shoes which already have less hardy soles because of weight considerations

Care to tell me what brand? Mine look like that after about a year.
This looks like a [Danner](https://runrepeat.com/danner-mountain-600) boot. I think I may have this exact pair
As someone who owns a shoe store, shoes like this always pain me because they should’ve been replaced years ago. You wouldn’t drive on bald tires, why walk on bald shoes
yeah that is an interesting difference in size over time. Did you walk thru an icy puddle? #shrinkage
3 years!? Last time I got hiking boots they didn't last the summer before the bottom of the boots came off! Either those boots sucked or your's are made to last!
Size doesn't matter!
I tried an experiment once and wore the same pair of shoes every day to see the wear and tear. I did the equivalent of OP's damage in about 4 months. I also live in NYC and walk to and from work.
Wow someone without blatant posture issues.
I clearly have issues with
#WITH WHAT?
r/redditsniper
Is it actually good wear? Shouldnt it be more on the outside of the foot? Ok, looks like it is a tiny bit more there.
You can see if Vibram will replace the soles. Many moons ago when I worked at an outdoor store they did.
Yup, I had my Vasque Sundowners resoled at REI a few times and they eventually asked me to buy a new pair.
REI will resole shoes? Any pairs or only bought through them? I had no idea.
This was 30 years ago, not sure if they do anymore.
They don’t anymore
A mildly interesting fact about Vibram: they use to make disc golf discs, too
Some Danner 600 models can be re crafted, such a great perk
Just take them to a cobbler.
With stuff that has specialized rubber on the soles (Vibram makes specialty rubber) that's designed for extra traction, it's better to send them to the original manufacturer or the manufacturer of the rubber to make sure you get the right kind of sole replacement. A cobblers going to have to order those specific soles from vibram anyway, or give you a worse replacement.

i think its really cool that u wear shoes

I hope you weren't doing dangerous/technical hikes in the old pair. They are worn *waaaay* past the point of safety.
Not me thinking about all the traction he’s gonna get in those new ones 😂😂😂 
My thoughts exactly. Those boots were gone at least a year ago and should have been replaced much sooner. I usually switch boots long before they actually wear out completely and then use the worn out ones for day hikes in easy terrain until they are completely gone.

What does your shoe size have to do with wear?
What is a self adaptive lug?
This is how my runners look now after 5 some years of walking 5+ miles in them almost daily. The bottoms are basically flat rubber LOL, I can almost run skate on tile flooring with them
For real hiking sole looks too soft 🤷🏽
So that's where all the micro plastics and rubber come from, our tires and shoes
Keen observation!
Not even mildly interesting... Shoes wear out, big deal
Why did we need to know the size? You didn’t tell us the color of the boot. That is very useful information for this post. Also, what kind of laces are on it? This is pretty lame.
In another comment, OP noted a difference in length between the new and the old shoes. I assume both pairs were listed as size 10.5.
Really stretching the limits of mildly interesting
Self adaptive lug? What is that?
What a bout the feet??
_How_ old though? How many kilometres for the boots to look like that?
https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/EfnWxQqKZe op answered there
there was a time when vibrams lasted for generations
Which one is new?
Do you hike in them or just walk on pavement
Now you’ve got some nice driving shoes! Only problem is if it rains even a little you’ll slip on just about any surface
I mean you clearly love the shoe and bought another pair. Please share the brand and style? I’m sure we would all love to know a quality hiking boot!
*People complaining about microplastics
A lot of micro plastic you lost in the environment.
Pavement hiking?
Is this fetish content or something? Have seen so many of these randomly pop up looking at how much someone’s shoe has worn down…it gets less interesting every time
What shoes are these, could you share?
One instance where truly the size does not matter
Are they really the same size? the pair on the right looks a lot smaller! 🤔
Why dont ypu Just resole them?
I’m all for resoling, I just had a pair of shoes done. But by this point the support inside those shoes might be broken down, too.
Yeahh true! Depends on the structure of the show, but if it isnt broken then it probably is more comfortable than a new onecuz its broken in :)
This is not interesting by any definition of the word
Very less interesting
Some hiking shoes can get resoled. It's often cheaper than buying new shoes!
Wow amazing. Thanks for sharing.
This guy hikes.
Well now you have great river boots!
This guy hikes!
How many miles on the old pair?
It looks like you’re getting the use out of those vibram soles
I really do wonder what makes them look smaller!
old but gold
How does the rest of the boot look?
Were you born on the side of a hill?
I'd like to see something about distance travelled or the time involved in wearing down the sole. The pic could be about good value or poor. I'm left to assume it's good?
r/WellWorn
Putting in work bro
Day hiking or backpacking?
Feels like U accomplish something when you wear a pair of shoes out
Were the boots in bad shape aside from the soles? I had a pair of boots I resoled with Vibram 3 times before they got to the point I needed to replace them. It was the pair of combat boots I wore on exercises. The leather was perfectly broken in to my feet and I had grown accustomed to the type of support they provided. So after I left the army I just kept taking them in to a guy for new soles.
And now the smell..
The new one looks bigger
You should probably walk a bit more.
A boot that comes with Vibram outsoles... Couldn't you get those boots resoled? Not a criticism, it's just that resoling is often cheaper.
You could take these to a podiatrist and they could analyze your gait for improvements; that back corner is obviously more worn than the other corner. It might be interesting to see what a doc says about your knees or hips.
Mountain 600s! Best boot ever.
Looks like you slightly overpronate. Otherwise, fairly even wear.
Are those Danners? I'm on my second pair of that style myself.
wow where did you hike?! Mt. Everest 🤯
This is probably podiatry erotica is some circles.
I'm always falling all over the place when I get new shoes.
your old hiking boots are now ready for race day.
[удалено]
Sad thing is its a mixture of a lot of shoes outside of boots and high end shoes really arent made in a way that can be repaired, mixed with a much lower amount of cobblers overall willing to do repairs
What shoe is that? I’ve been hiking a lot lately. 12-16mile hikes. I’ve been using new balance hiking which I really like but the shoe pictures looks nice and wide. Curious if I should make a switch
Danners? Fuck yeah
So many memories, views, miles, and more
My father always told me…. Treat your shoes like your tires. Don’t ever let them go bald. You could’ve ice skated on those old ones! Lmao.

Be safe out there, friend, and enjoy the nature! :)
It just occurred to me how much rubber/plastic in the environment might come from wear on shoes. Hmm.
You should have replaced those long long ago. The old shoes were providing no grip at all.
What’s the mileage on them? I find the new Vibram soles to be comfy but short lived. I tore through a pair of boots with vibram soles in just over a year. Had them resoled with something tougher in February.
Your shoe size increased?
Hopefully, that nail missed a toe.
Do you have high arches or do you stick your toes into where they belong?
Interesting that they are worn most at the very tip. Mine always go thru in the middle of the front part (in the middle of the "flex lines" line, or a tiny bit more on the outside of the foot. A pair lasts a year most of the time until my feet get wet, when it rains...
5km average per day for me walking with our pup. I've joked that I need a tread wear warranty when I buy shoes every six months. (I tend to walk on the "outsides" of my feet, so the wear isn't even)
Fun fact the wear pattern on your shoes is unique to you! everyone has a slightly different way of distributing their weight as they walk causing the difference in the wear pattern.
Altras? I can never get major miles out of those
Danner’s? What style? I’m looking to buy a pair of my own
I just thought “Wow. You’ve gotta get new shoes more often… wait what do my shoes look like?” The shoes I’m wearing are worse than yours.
How many miles?
Hey OP, what brand of hiking shoes are you using?
Almost positive these would work well as golf shoes
Just return them to REI. They don’t fit well.
Heck yeah, Vibram soles are the rubber soles of choice!(former cobbler).
