Not to pick on you specifically, but I see this advice a lot and I wonder, does having two pairs make each pair last MORE than twice as long? If the idea that owning more than one pair of shoes because they'll last longer is just based on the fact that you're only wearing each half as often, then that isn't really something notable.
I think it does, because it means you can allow the interior of the shoe to dry between wearings. Otherwise your foot moisture will be a permanent feature of the inside of your shoes. So it would help the interior of the shoe last longer. I don't see any reason why it would help any of the exterior to last longer.
