That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today.

Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.

    Yes but I then forget to throw them out so I end up wearing them until they literally become unusable.

    IDK if it’s calluses or what but my heels will wear through damn near anything in a pretty short time. Noticed a small hole in a sock once and by the end of the day the entire heel had worn through. Once wore through the heels of a $40 pair of sandals in just a couple months. I didn’t have any money at the time to replace them, so I just covered the worn area with duct tape. That lasted less than a week.

      It’s how you walk. You have a prominent heel strike in your gait, and it’s causing more wear on the shoe gear in that specific spot. This style of walking with a heavy calcaneal foot strike will eventually give you pain in the knees, hips, and shoulders. You’ll want to switch to a more natural walking motion, where your forefoot hits the ground at the same time or before your heel hits the ground.
