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

Not to be rude, but may have something to do with weight, or weight to shoe size ratio

Maybe? I've worn US 10.5s for almost two decades now and only gone from 60kg to 70kg in the same timeframe. I could understand if I was like 100kg+, but I've been fortunate enough to be relatively fit for my whole life. Now I'm really curious if my stride heavily differs from most people or something.

Yeah that might be your stride, im a size 13 but have been between 80-100kgs for most of my life, and around 75kg now and I def never ran through shoes that quickly. I still have some pairs of running shoes that I regularly have worn for working out and general walking about for the past 6 years
