Have you tried buying multiple pairs and trading off days? I think my sister in law said that improved her shoes’ lifespan.

Yeah, I've had that recommended to me on occasion. I don't really see the logic in it, though. If I put x wear on a shoe per day, switching between two sets will simply mean that I get twice the time out of the two total pairs but with double the repair fee at the end. Is there something I'm missing with this particular method of making shoes last longer? Each shoe is still lasting the same number of uses, right?

I think the theory is that letting the shoe interior dry out and giving the foam time to decompress makes them more resilient next time you wear them. If you’re wearing them out by wearing through the outsole that wouldn’t help, but if it’s the interior of the shoe that breaks down it’d be worth a try.

Aaah, that explains it. Yeah, for most of my shoes, it's the outsole that's wearing out, but if I start seeing the interiors going out, I know what to do now. Thanks for being one of the only people to have interesting input in this thread~

Still visiting the local cobbler even. Are your shoes carved from wood homie?
