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 :-(

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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??? ;)
