Eli5: why do shoes disintegrate when left unworn (for extended period of time) and frequently wearing them actually prevents/delays disintegration?
In: Other
This happened to my girlfriend last month. Put on a pair of shoes that she hadn’t worn in years. We got in the car and went to the grocery store. At about aisle 2 I noticed some weird stuff on the floor. I thought to myself “damn this place cant even keep their floors clean”. Two aisles later she notices a trail of crumbled rubber following her around. By the time we left the rubber had fallen off and she shuffled to the car thoroughly embarrassed.
