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 think you need to buy better shoes my friend. I didn't even wear through shoes that fast walking 40+ miles a week.

I've had pretty much everything from sandals to name-brand running shoes (I've tried damn near all the big names over the years) to formal shoes of ranging qualities. Their soles tend to wear the same. The rest of the shoe, on the other hand, lasts really well when they're high-quality. Like I said to the other person, you seem to have either found shoes that wear rather slowly or a walking method that accomplishes that (in either case, I'm deeply envious).

Check to see if you have a weird size or a wide foot. I wrecked shoes for years until I realized my feet were just wider than normal.

Yeah, my feet are really wide (4E tends to fit), but that's something I've known and accounted for since I was in my late teens.
