I can't be the only one here with this problem.

Regardless to the type / brand of shoes I buy you can pretty much guarantee I've worn through the part that's under the ball of the foot to the extent it splits after about 3 months.

This goes for both my work shoes and non work shoes.

Anyone else get this problem or should I just face facts and just go full hobbit?

I know it's really uncool these days but you really can't go on like that, put some brakes on your bmx .

"how much walking do you do ?"

For work it's not that much, it's a small building and a desk job with about 5 trips to the other end of building a day that take about 30 seconds to walk each way.

Even outside of work I keep my shoes off as much as possible.

Regarding the cost I've bought shoes anywhere between £15 and £80 but still last about the same length of time.

Drive atleast 2 hrs a day but it's mostly motorway so cruise control gets used within 10 mins of leaving the house.

Do your toes curve up on your shoes after a couple of weeks? If so it's your gait and how you walk. A good Physiotherapist might be able to give you insoles to correct it.

unfortunately there is very little difference between £15 and £80 shoes. Buy a goodyear welted shoes, expensive, but worth every penny.

Also, since they're wearing in the same spot, your walking style/posture might be a problem
