holes in my shoes

Holes in the bottoms of your shoes? I guess that says something about
either your shoes or your pedals. One needs to get up (or down)graded.
I'm guessing Vans-type shoes with sharp pins.

I used to wear out my shoes on the sides, inside where the hub/crank
rubs your foot. Usually by the time that happened, it was time for new
shoes anyway so no problem...

My current 661's have pedal sized wear marks on the arch areas of the
soles. There are little diamond shaped sections in the soles and I am
completely through like 5 on each shoe. I took the soles out and duct
taped a section of thick DH tube to the inside of the shoe to keep them
waterproof. It worked for about a month but now they are officially
dead.

I have had opposite experiences. On my riding shoes the soles always
wear out way before anything else. And I am buying quality shoes and
have good pedals with good grip (which I am not willing to change).

I went through the bottom of 2 shoes cause of my pedals, I fixed it with
duct tape, but that didn't last long, then I bought new shoes, right
now i actually have hiking shoes, they were weird at first, but now
they are awesome, insane grip, comfy with good support, I love them!

I had to ride to uni club today with these type of soles:

My 661's are trash so I had to wear my work shoes. No grip whatsoever.

Would getting my nipples greasy be better when I twist them tight? or
should I leave them like they are?

I just tore the rubber sole clean off my shoes the other day...But i
went out and got some new ones. they have a really stiff sole and not
to much grip...Which is what i like.
