I noticed this happening in exp with the freshie athletic shoes too. It felt like the infected were damaging them but we didn't verify.
We left Elektro and had bleeding feet at Staroye. I agree that shoes need to be more durable.

Yes, it is possible that I encountered and fought few zombies between my rides. I will try to get another pristine shoes and drive long distance for some time If I get impact on shoes durability by that alone.

Thank you, meanwhile we will check internally for any issues with the shoes becoming ruined from zombie hits, as this has been reported by some other players as well.

Hello Geez, I was driving long distances avoiding any violent confrontation. The result is that only by driving and little walking shoes don't get damaged. Still some tuning is needed - condition of strong tourist or military shoes should not deteriorate this fast.

Descriptions use words like "Highly durable" or "Versatile" - one would expect they would survive a day of light walking or stepping on zombie's feet here and there.
