I am not the usual, I use shoes like tires and replace when worn out.
I have a pair of tennis shoes, two pair of heels for work ( once pair white and one black), and a pair of flip flops...... that's it.
My black work heels are beat to **** from wear and tear. I like the above ones because of the thick heel part and overall thickness, I bet I can get about 20,000 miles out of those.
