yea my poggio3 nike carbon soles are like ****. first ive tried taping the areas of contacT with the road with electric tape and it worked for a while. i eventially gave up and got some toe warmers. they help slow the wear but im starting to rip through them. worst case is ill have to look for a cheap pair on ebay 2 or 3 years form now when my poggio's are useless. shoes are shoes and they wear out like any other.
