I guess it is because of the tires

I feel like the amount of wear I put on my shoes by walking a certain distance is higher than the wear on my tires when I bike that same distance

Is it though? Time for science, it's the only way to tell for sure!

I put about 2000 miles on my boots before they need replacing. They cost around 200usd.

I'm pretty sure my tires last twice as long at least

Time to walk using tires instead of shoes.

Well, you can buy sandals made from repurposed, used tires.
