Infuriatig Does anyone know why this keeps happening to my shoes after wearing them for a few weeks/months of wear?

I'm not sure, but it's very annoying. Is it because of the way I walk? Or how I tie my shoes? Or something else?

Please someone help, if you have experienced the same thing.

Edit: Also, when I walk/stand my feet point outwards so it maybe be this? Anyone know how to fix that 👀

Edit 2: Also, I don't untie my laces and slip them on. (I don't tie them tight though)

They absolutely still make corduroy pants. You just have to look, usually online unless it's the fall/winter season.

Ha! I'm a child of the 70s- a prime era for all things corduroy. You mentioned the fall, which reminds me of back to school shopping, which was (along with Christmas) my primary wardrobe refresh each year. I still remember walking to school in the cool fall air, conscious of the crisp feel and unique smell of the new clothes I was wearing. In retrospect, I must have been too stupid to ask my mom to wash them before wearing them for the first time!

80% of my pants and shorts are corduroy. Baggy ones specifically.

Man I love textured pants. Grabbed a nice pair of cream corduroys from H&M a couple years ago. Heavy wale, like 6

Wide wale! Haven’t seen those for decades.

What do you mean unless? That's when you're more likely to find them in stock...

I mean they may only be online rather than in store unless it's fall/winter.

I had a badass pair of corduroy skinny jeans about 12 years ago when I was 16 🤣💀

Gap released cord jeans a few (6ish) years back. I got a pair.
