Reply to comment by Octavia_con_Amore in Meeting your daily step goal really does work to prevent important illnesses. Taking more than 8,200 steps a day – the equivalent of walking around four miles – was found to protect against the likes of obesity, sleep apnoea, high blood pressure and major depressive disorder by Wagamaga

I walk 10,000 steps a day - so yes, over 4 miles - and I've worn the same pair of Adidas £50 trainers for 7 years. They're still going fine!

Don't see how those steps will 'chew threw' shoes??

Now that's one hell of a shoe. Like I said in another comment, I've worn primarily running shoes and dress shoes with some boots thrown in, often from brand names and anything I wear as my every-day shoes will inevitably have its sole worn through in a little over half a year. Everyone else seems to have found shoes or a stride (or both) that somehow make their shoes last forever and a half and I'm bloody envious.

It's the stride, I have realized that I push off with my heel somehow with each step as the heel part of the shoe is completely worn through after a few years and the rest of the shoe is worn but comparably fine.

I'm in a similar boat except that the ball of the foot wears through at a similar rate (possibly because of my stride, possibly because I tend to stand for long periods of time). I guess I have something new and interesting to pay attention to and possibly change when I'm walking now :D

My shoes, on average ,last between 500-800 Miles. About half a year with my daily step count. I buy name brand shoes too
