        I was gonna say, my usual is 15 or 20 km per day, but if I do 23 km I’m gonna be worn out. 23 k steps is still pretty good.

        How long does a pair of boots last him? I’ve been wearing Brooks Glycerin running shoes. They’re good for about 2,000 km on paved surfaces, but I keep wearing them past that because I don’t like paying for new pairs.

          He’s had these ones for more than a year now and they still look pretty new. He’ll wear out the tread before anything else. He’s owned hard yakka and they last about a year or two.

          23,000+ steps a day over a year

            That’s pretty good. Soles are the first thing to go for me, too. I know it isn’t directly comparable, because I’m doing outdoor, primarily on paved surfaces, at a substantial speed, and need my shoes to handle adverse weather. But damn, I wish I could get a pair of shoes that last me years.
