wear through the sole (of a shoe)
When something gets "worn through", it gets thinner and thinner through use, until there's a hole in it.
You can use "wear through" in these ways:
- (someone) wears through (something)
I wear through shoes quickly.
- (something) wears through (something)
The heel of my boot wore through my sock.
- (somthing) is/gets worn through
It's already worn through.
Use "wear through" mostly to talk about clothes or the soles of a person's shoes. The "sole" is the bottom of the shoe, which touches the ground when you walk.
