Do the treads wear out in a particular pattern, or just all over? have you tried writing to the manufacturer(s)? Maybe they would send you a new pair, and make you a "tester" for good walking the dog shoes?

Sounds like you'd be a perfect person to be a sneaker tester! I would absolutely write to every manufacturer of sneakers you have bought, and explain the problem, and see what they say!

I don't run or walk in the true meaning of this thread, but when I buy athletic shoes, they last for years, and I wear them all the time when I'm not wearing sandals. I buy a new pair simply because I get tired of looking at the old ones. I like New Balance - reasonable price and very durable. It will be a cold day in h3ll before I'll pay over $50 for a pair, too.

To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

I wear New Balance, too. It's hard to find my size though. Wide feet. I wished mine lasted for years. They wear out and get dirty.Originally Posted by pomtzu

I wear Skechers and they seem to last for years. Although I don't really check the tread on them often. (going to check a pair now) They all seem to be fine. I even checked my oldest pair. But we all walk differently and have different pressure points. So I guess it just depends on that.
I usually buy a new pair when the old ones are beyond cleaning or I want a different color.
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

My Nike ones didn't last long, but I work out at the gym (including running on a treadmill), and my Underarmor ones have lasted me over a year...so as with everything Underarmor, I highly recommend. If this continues, I would suggest investing in Hiking Boots. I bought a pair (for hiking mostly) from Bass pro shops on sale for $40. They are pretty ugly, but they are SO good for walking in general not only hikes!
