I've been running in Nimbus 9s for my last 3 pairs of shoes and find they do me for about 4-500 miles. I've just upgraded to a pair of Nimbus 10s and was shocked today to notice that the tread at the heel has completely worn down on the outer half - inner part of the heel tread looks pretty new, but the outer parts are bare!
Do you think this is a fault with the shoe as the left seems worse? I've only done about 60 miles in them as bought them on 1st September and have been alternating with my old pair to break them in.
Any thoughts or experiences of a similar nature? Would I be justified in taking them back to the shop?

see what the shop suggests - perhaps ask them for a replacement pair but if it's happening now, it's likely to happen again so maybe look for an alternative like I did
Sounds similar to my experience - with 100 miles on them, mine have worn very noticeably on the heels and the forefoot. If they last 200 miles I'll be surprised.
As FB, I'm now looking at alternatives and think I'll go back to the Nike Moto which has served me well in the past.
as it happens, I kept them in reserve since I started using the Brooks and wore them for my 1st ultra at the w/e as I knew it would be muddy in parts so didn't want to get the Brooks dirty (what a tart eh?). after the event I check the shoes and the sole on one foot now has bits flapping around - black sections towards the heel - like they have come unstuck. something I have never seen with any other shoes in the past. that would say to me that there is a construction problem with Asics soles - great shame as I still find them the most comfy of shoes over long distances
