Sounds like pronation. The inside portion of the heel is hitting the ground first, being forced into a neutral position, and the innner heel is being worn away from the friction between the material in the heel and your sock.

Why do I always wear out the inside heel of my shoes?
Not undoing your laces. If when you put your shoes on, you force your heel over the padded heel counter with excessive force, this can wear away at the lining of the shoe. It will happen higher up at the heel collar rather than the heel counter below. This often happens when you don’t undo your laces.
Why do my insoles wear out so fast?
Generally, the rougher the sole, the more it’s fit for off-road conditions. If you wear work boots on off-road, then the sole would wear out quite quickly. The same happens when you wear off-road shoes on concrete, pavement, or tarmac.
Why do I wear holes in my insoles?
Holes Inside the Shoe
Holes in the ball of the shoe or the toe box can be evidence of excess pressure due to pivoting of the foot caused by overpronation or oversupination. Wear in the heel and sock lining can be a result of your heel tilting or the shoe being too small.
How long should shoes last?
Many of us wear shoes past their “expiration” date simply because we don’t know what to look for! As a general rule of thumb, shoes should be replaced every 8-12 months for most people or every 500-700 kilometres for running shoes. Some shoes will last longer, and some will wear out more quickly.
What your shoe soles say about you?
The wear pattern on the sole of your running shoe can provide important clues to how your weight is distributed as you run. It can also help you select the best running shoe for you. There are three different wear patterns – neutral, medial and lateral – that can indicate overpronation or supination.
How do you fix faux leather peeling?
Nail Polish. You can easily purchase an inexpensive clear nail polish and apply that over the peeled area. You should still remove any bits of faux leather and apply the nail polish. If you don’t use a marker or any other product, you may find that it looks much different in the peeled area.
How do I stop the holes in my shoe soles?
Shoe Armour was developed to eliminate the premature death of shoes due to holes. Shoes often wear from the inside out and holes can form from parts of the foot rubbing repeatedly on the inside of the shoe. Shoe Armour’s patented technology helps prevent these types of holes and helps shoes last longer.
How do shoes wear if you Overpronate?
Overpronator: The bottoms of the shoes of overpronators show wear on the inside edges of your heels and on the inside edges of the balls of your feet (the side toward the big toe).
Can the inside lining of shoes be repaired?
While a full shoe lining replacement is often not necessary, a backlining replacement is a common repair procedure performed by our shoe repairers. The repair involves removing part of the original lining and adding a new layer of leather to cover the worn area.
Do you put new insoles on top of old insoles?
Any insole or orthotic that is not full-length should be placed on top of your shoe’s existing insole.
Can a cobbler replace insoles?
Resoling. Depending on how bad the damage is, a cobbler can do a half or full resole which involves replacing the soles of your shoes with new ones. You can also preemptively replace the soles of new shoes with rubber or Vibram versions, making them more resistant to wear and tear in the long run.
How many pairs of shoes should I own?

How often should you replace your everyday shoes?
every 8 to 12 months
When do our shoes become worn out? According to podiatrists, everyday shoes need to be replaced every 8 to 12 months – or when they start showing signs of wear and tear.
Should you wear same shoes everyday?
“If you wear the same pair everyday, your shoes don’t have ample time to dry and they won’t maintain their shape,” Kass told us. If you don’t give your shoes a day to air out, the sweat-soaked leather will warp, and your shoes will start to lose their shape — not to mention get musty and start to stink.
Why are my shoes wearing unevenly?
Most likely, uneven wear will be a result of an overpronating gait (when your foot rolls inwards to the big toe side) or a supinating, or underpronating gait (where your foot rolls outwards towards the little toe).
What is a supination?

What causes faux leather peeling?
Its manufacturing process involves using recycled layers of leather bonded together before being attached to a polyurethane (PU) surface. Therefore, synthetic leather isn’t something as strong and elastic as real leather, and when you stretch it too much, the PU overlay begins to peel off easily.
How do you stop faux leather shoes from peeling?
Squeeze a dollop of shoe goo out onto the tops of the shoes, and use the paintbrush to smear the thick goo around. Make sure to cover every surface of the shoe, down to the seam where the fabric meets the sole. This will seal the shoes and help protect the composite fabric that underlies the faux leather.
Can peeling leather be repaired?
It’s not worth repairing peeling PU materials, because no long-lasting result can be achieved. All flaking and peeling ‘skin’ are removed until the surface is stable. Leather filler and a rubberized coating are tested to create a new ‘skin’ on the fabric.
How do I tell if I Overpronate or Underpronate?
Look at your running shoes. If they show a lot of wear along the inner edge of the sole, you likely have flat feet and overpronate. If the wear is worse along the outside edge, you may have high arches and supinate (underpronate).
