A member asked:

Is there a specific shoe with harder soles i can wear with orthodics my shoesoles keep wearing out fast .

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would show the : Shoe to your foot doctor. Perhaps, all you need are "taps" on your shoes. With a good pair of orthotics this should prevent wear and tear on the shoes. (you did not state if the orthotics were custom or not.).
