I think there’s also a tolerance-for-wear factor. I have a couple buddies - who, to your point, aren’t small - who buy a new pair of Five Tens every ~ 6-9 months. They ride a tonne and consider it a cost of riding sticky high performance shoes and sharp pins. I have another buddy who is trying the RideConcepts now (and who knows what next) because he was pissed he couldn’t get a year on Five Ten shoes in the same conditions.
