I am a heel geek. I have to CONSTANTLY re-heel my shoes and boots. Its because we actually WALK on them. tho I average about 4 months per pair. I am ALWAYS going to the show makers. I have the most amazing pair of boots I have to take in, soon.
but I digress. I wear out my heels approx every 4 months. You can get thicker heel replacements, tho that does depend on the shoe guy. I always get the thick ones, and the usually only last 4-5 months. i LOOOOOOVE my heels.
i can admit it. i'm a shoe whore. your point??? ;)

I agree with Colleen! My heel lifts take roughly 4 months to wear down and I always assumed it's because I walk all over the place in them, as opposed to driving/cabbing/etc. (I suspect that most heel-wearing women own cars and are not as environmentally conscious).
The height of ridiculousness was a new pair of stiletto boots I bought this winter - The heel lifts on those wore out after just three wearings! Luckily the replacement lifts have proved\n to be much sturdier.

Sorry to hear about hurting yourself. HOWEVER... you went to YPF and you did NOT take me? What's up with that? :(

It does depend on how much you walk. When I was still attending university (which I did for 12 years), the heels would wear down. Now, I don't go anywhere, so they're fine.

Although I am not known to sport heels larger than those typical of man-shoes, I do walk to and from the office daily. The result of all this walking is a need to replace my shoes probably once every 5 to 7 months. I hypothesize that the extra few months of use are due in part to
a) the larger heel (thus spreading the force of my mass across a larger surface area) and lengthening my heel life, b) my failure to notice when my heel has worn away, and c) my incredible ability to be stubborn/lazy/cheap.
I should add that my ridiculous need for pattern has me wearing the same shoes every day until they are a shadow of their former gloriousness. Exceptions that require a change of shoe involve weddings or exercise.

I, too, am a destroyer of heels. The boots I am currently wearing desperately need to be re-heeled, but I am also lazy! Depending on the time of year, and the frequency with which I wear them, my heels last 4-6 months. In winter, I rock the boots and in summer I vary the sandals. My spring/fall staples, though - watch out.

I need to find me a shoe doctor, I have about 5 pairs with the little metal thingie sticking out and I'd LOVE to wear them again :-(
