Assuming they are leather soles just get them resoled. Costs about $40 and will extend the life of your expensive shoes.
What on earth are you doing that you'd wear out dress shoes so quickly? Are you a door to door salesman or something were you do a lot of walking outside?
You might replace them with a pair of ECCO's. They have a rubber sole and will almost never wear out.
Dress shoes do not _ever_ have "tread". Dress shoes have leather soles. Shoes with rubber soles are business casual at most.Originally posted by: Passions
I bought $150 Kenneth Cole dress shoes and after only about a month of casual 9-5 use, they are almost already all worn out on the bottom. Is this normal for dress shoes??
Florsheim or Johnston & Murphy. Johnston & Murphy for full-dress, and Florsheim for business casual. Keep 'em polished and they'll last years.Originally posted by: loup garou
Kenneth Cole shoes SUCK...I've gone through several pairs. Go get some Rockports, or Cole Haans, or Campers, or Eccos, they'll last.

ECCO or Joseph Seibles - both very comfortable, well cushioned shoes that last. I've had my pair of Ecco dress shoes now for a year and a half of nearly daily wearand they still look good if I keep them polished...and comfortable as all heck.
