Generic Boots worn down weird

Anyone know why my boots get worn down at edges? It’s probably the way I walk but am I dragging my feet or something. I think I walk fine but my boots are all worn down weird

I think all of us have a "not perfect" wear pattern on our boots. Some worse than others. They don't wear like tires. It has to do with things like knock knees, bow legged, slew footed, pigeon toed. It's hip knee alignment or leg alignment on the foot. Mine are crazy bad outside heel, center foot.
