How long are sneakers supposed to last?
The last few sneakers I bought (NMDs, a pair of On Runnings), basically disintegrated around 1 year; the bottom layer of material would wear down, a hole would appear around the forefoot (the On Runnings even had the bottom layer peel away completely). While I'm not a light person (~220 lbs), and walk a ton (avg. 8k steps on a typical in-office day), I expect sneakers to last a bit longer than a year.
Am I misguided about this, or am I buying the wrong sneakers?
