Has the wear been more than other shoes you have used? A general rule of thumb for outdoor tennis is 45-60 hours, pickleball is probably a little higher, before the midsole is worn out. So if you play twice a week for 2 hours that is 4 hours per week times 13 weeks = 52 hours.
There’s no exact science to determining the life span of your tennis shoes. Unlike a car needing an oil change, shoes don’t obey odometers. And different models have different lifespans. Lightweight shoes sometimes are not as supportive or padded and tend to wear out more quickly, while heavier, more stable, more cushioned shoes are often sturdier and provide longer wear.
