wow its been 3 years and i still use mi vapor 6 and the last pair of shoes i bought was some adidas response 12 months ago .
how do you guys burn out so many shoes so fast? i mean i play 3-4 days a week 2 hours at a 4.5 level and i havent worn out a shoe to death yet.
It depends on a number of factors. Some people are heavier than others and still move quickly, so they are going to be putting more friction onto the bottom of the shoes by changing directions.
Some people have terrible footwork and some people consistently drag a toe. For toe draggers, the rest of the shoe can be fine and the toe can be completely exposed.
Some people move so quickly that they are going to be sliding into stops even on a hard court which will grind away the outsole more quickly.
The court can also make a difference. Rougher court surfaces will tend to eat shoes more quickly, unless your footwork is perfect.
