    I push people in wheelchairs for a living. I roughly walk 6-10 miles a day. My shoes are 2-3 years old, and literally falling apart.

    And I’ll keep wearing them until a week AFTER they fall apart! I got duct tape!

      Ducktape is fine if you don’t use them all the time, but at least buy some superglue and repair them correctly.

      Good shoes are important. Protect your feet, knees, and back. You’ll thank yourself for it one day.

      If you can find a consignment store for used outdoor gear, many hiking shoes are strurdy.

      Get low-tops unless you want knee problems down the line.

      Learn to pad the insoles with foam so you can make them just for you, and easily alter them if things change.
