Question: Why does the toe of my tennis shoe keep wearing out?
Answer: Many players drag the toe forward on the serve and wear through the shoe pretty quickly. Some also drag the part of the shoe below the big toe forward on groundstrokes, but this usually causes slower wear. You don't need to drag your toe on the serve, so if you've gotten to the point where you don't have too many other things to think about, you can train yourself to let your shoes last longer.
