Lord I love this maybe too-deep of a dive. And I have to agree. Once again, you've articulated phenomena that affects me but I haven't been able to quite figure out. I tear up the soles of my shoes on my trailing foot way, way faster than I wear out the soles of my leading foot. That trailing left foot is obviously doing more work to keep my body squared up on the bike. When I go through my pile of retired bike shoes, my left shoes are all chewed to crap, with wear through the rubber into the sole plate, whereas my right shoes are much less worn.
