My teenage son was going through shoes every couple of months.  It was costing me a fortune.  Finally I realized that each shoe sole was literally rubbed off on only one side.  It wasn't the shoes, it was the way he was walking.  Over pronating and dragging his feet.  It was recommended by the foot doctor that I try him in the Brooks Beast before getting custom shoes which are much more expensive.

Size 13 Wide.  These things were huge!  I wondered why they weren't called boats instead of shoes.  After he wore them for a month I checked the soles.  I was dumbfounded when they still looked close to new.  None of the rubber was gone!  That first pair lasted 14 months of daily use before I had to buy the next pair.  We are on pair #3 now.

So now we have a problem.  He needs black shoes for work and the beast only comes in white/multi.  Praying they will come out with a completely black model soon so he can wear them while he is on his feet all day at work.  We are going to try the Brooks Addiction Walker in black and hope they work similar.

These shoes are expensive, but they have saved me lots of money that I would have thrown away on other models.  My son does not run.  But he sure walks a lot in these shoes.
