For different people, shoes die in different ways. I know when my shoes are dead when the shank (kind of like the sole) is too flexible and is over bending and/or the box (the tip of the shoe) is very mushy. Sometimes, the box dies first and that mushiness causes over bending in the shank and sometimes the shank goes first which makes the box mushy. It depends really.
