I cannot remember the last time I wore out a pair of tennis shoes. Of course, considering I have quite a few pairs, it's taken a long time.
On one of my recent walks, I walked through a puddle and immediately felt that my "footie" was wet. I was pretty surprised by that. When I got home and took off my shoes, I saw this:
OMGosh! When did this happen? I realize that I never look at the bottom of my shoes. I had no idea that I had worn part of the sole away! And that hole! This was a pretty substantial sole at one time. Now worn clear through.So I went upstairs to get a pair I'd been wearing on the treadmill. After only one wear outside, this happened:I wore a hole in the top of the shoe! I'm thinking that these were probably dry-rotted. 2 pairs gone in two days.
Never fear, I have at least 4 more pairs!!
