ELI5; Why can Vehicle tires last Tens of thousands of miles, While Shoes get destroyed after a couple hundred miles, Even though tires carry a much heavier weight than shoes and go much faster

My usual shoes have done multiples of that and are on their final lap after a couple of years, and my walking boots are fine after a decade and probably thousands of miles of rocky paths and mud.
