Is it normal that i wear shoes until they're literally ripping

I notice that when i own a pair of shoes i wear them until they're practically ripping at the seams. Not that i cant afford a new pair, but i just really like them and spend a good amount of money of them, might as well use them up right. Of course if its an important situation i look more presentable in my shoe attire, and its not the same for clothes, just shoes. I retired some today and the ones im wearing now seem to headed that way very soon. Anyone else do this is it weird.
