That's an odd way to put it. Exercise doesn't "wear down the body".
Running puts tremendous stress on knees and feet. I've not been able to run since I was in my 30's due to my knees just not being able to take it anymore. (I'm not overweight.)
In fact, I walk 4+ miles a day, much up and down hills, and just that has pushed my feet pretty hard. About 5 years ago I had to switch to MBT's because I was essentially unable to walk in regular shoes. And it was a complete fluke that I found those shoes.

So do muscles. Even connective tissue gets stronger with use. Cartilage might not (I'm not sure) but heals. It doesn't just grind down from use, or professional runners would all have severe arthritis at 25. Sedentary people still get arthritis. > About 5 years ago I had to switch to MBT's because I was essentially unable to walk in regular shoes I'm not sure you're a representative sample. It's not normal to be unable to walk in regular shoes unless you're elderly.
