Usually if the heel wears too quickly the shoe size was chosen one size too small.

In this case, they were a bit too large (I have wide feet and need to size up), but the other issue is that I walk around 12-15 km/day and that plus my weight tends to add up to destroy shoe soles fairly quickly. :)

There's a lot of other wear, especially under the balls of my feet, but the heel is the most noticeable bit.
