These are an el-cheapo (£24.99, good grief) Karrimor "Ortholite" from SportsDirect, bought as wear-around-town type things, and probably to erg in too. Here are the old ones:
The wear, apart from general tattiness, isn't too obvious. The final issue was the wearing down of the padding at the heel, which reveals the plastic stiffener inside, which then rubbed my heel; hence the plaster; but that isn't enough. Slightly less obvious is the hole where it flexes towards the front; this is probably caused by erging. I've hardly ever run in these; I bought them about 15 years ago I think, in Buxton, when I did forget my running shoes; but then mostly left them in the cupboard.
