Rtft

[mlproject]

been wearing the couple pairs of everybody hi's and low's i picked up on and off for about 3 weeks now... maybe about 2 or so times a week each and the inner heel is already almost all the way worn through along the rear of the shoe. anyone else have this problem?

picked them up on the cheap through that sale at training camp and love them otherwise, but may not grab more pairs if the quality is typically this bad.

its not the shoe, those things are great quality wise.

the inner material on both pairs is very soft and doesn't feel that durable. i've never worn through shoes in the heel like this before and both pairs are worn through the material to the inner structure. otherwise, these things are great. the insole is super comfortable, the outer materials are solid.

[jasonm]

do you have the same problem with vans/chucks?

its probably the way you stand, i know some people who do that to shoes with those types of soles.

i've been wearing/skating some everybody lo's fairly regularly for the past six months and they've been holding up pretty well.

I hope they do last cuz I just bought a pair of lows. :l

rtfts tend to do wear quickly on the inside of the heel...the rest of the shoe is quite sturdy, but for some reason, every pair of rtfts i own wear down on the inside like crazy

you are a pronator . . you can get insoles to help fix that

the heels on my rtfts took like 7 months to wear in.

Yeah thats the term.Under-pronator myself so the outer heels of my shoes are always wearing more.I just try to modify the way I step so that its dead-on..it becomes second nature once you do it for a while.The only reason I know about any of that stuff is because I used to run alot.You should see the soles on my old running shoes.

regardless of how i walk, having a pair of shoes fall apart after about 8 wears is kind of insane.

i looked in my vans and most of those aren't worn in this spot. who knows..

wow thanks to this thread, I was able to diagnose myself as well. Im an over-pronator, my inward heels are always worn. Any recommendations as to where to get nice (cheap) insoles?

i had a friend who was a severe overpronator and he had to have custom ones made that were very expensive. you can probably find some dr. scholls type thing that would work. probably not as durable, but a much lower price point.
