My experience has been that more of the wear in the shoes I wear seems to be in the area of the balls of my feet. Has anyone else had this experience?

Big toe area for me, and it comes from stress from my big toe pressing up on my shoes and socks. That is where my sock were out too. This toe presser happens while walking, and sitting. I'm not always conscious of it.
I use to toe walk, and when I was nine to twelve, I would turn that into a werewolf walk.
However, I think I am mostly a ball of my feet walker, and that may be why it sounds like I'm stomping.

That area of my slippers are also wearing out, inside, faster than the rest.

:? It just occurred to me that there is the ball/heel of my foot, and there is the ball/behind the big toe, of my foot.

I can't even stand on my toes, let alone on them.

Often toe walker refers to pretty much walking on the toes and balls of the feet . With heels barely touching ,or not at all . Seems most people as adults , quit doing it .? Based on first hand observation .

I don't walk on my toes but the ball of my right foot seems to wear a hole in any shoes I wear.

I walk with my toes pointing outwards, and the outer heels of every pair of shoes wear down.
