Hi in this weeks blog ill go though the daily/weekly wear of shoes, how far you travel in your shoes on average and how far this could take you.

Themirror.co.uk did a study and from that they were able to get an average for how many pairs of shoes a woman has. this said that on average women own 21 pairs of shoes including nine pairs they never wear and five that will only be worn once,

And according to www.newdream.org men own an average of 12 pairs of shoes and one pair will be frequently used a lot more just for casual comfort wear.

On average people take 10000 steps a day which is 70000 steps a week or 50000 in a working week, the average man or woman will have one specific pair of shoes for school or work this means that this one pair will be taking up to 50000 steps in the working week. most of these "shoes" will have leather top and rubber bottom.

 Its estimated these shoes wear out after 500 miles of walking in them, the average step is 2000 steps per mile therefor in 500 miles there is 1000000 steps or one million steps per shoe which means that it would take 100 days to wear out a pair of shoes. walking these out all 500 miles would be the equivalent as walking to walking from Dublin to Belgium.
