Interesting.

Have you tried hiking shoes? My experience has been that they tend to wear better than athletic shoes.

I also tend to scuff my feet more while running than while walking, which I suspect contributes to the significantly higher rate of wear while running.

Thanks for the recommendation. I don't think I've owned a pair of hiking boots, though I do have a pair of solid work boots for when that's necessary. Otherwise, I tend to go for running shoes or formal shoes. The thicker soles on boots definitely help, but I can't stand having that much weight on my feet day-to-day (nor does it fit my style which tends towards formal most times since, ya know, musician).
