    How do you make your shoes last longer? I mean so that your left/right shoe doesn't outware. I've currently bought my shoes this summer and they are already in this condition:

    What can I do to stop them wearing out or at least make them last longer?

    The trailing forefoot will always suffer this... worse if your opponent often forces you to lunge to your backhand front corner.

    I noticed you're from russia so this should be something readily available at low cost: Hockey Tape.

    I've seen some people put hockey tape over the area where the trailing forefoot is dragged.

    However from your photos, it may be a little too late. You would want to do this before the gum rubber wears out.
