How long do they last with minimum 5 miles walking daily and some weekly running?

they are my favorite shoes but 10,000 steps a day they will last you 4 months till no tread and maybe 5/6 till there's a hole. I'm 220lbs

Are they worth the large difference in price from competitors like Xero? Why? Looking for a change, but don't see any reason to spend ~$60 more.

I can’t justify the price for you. I love them they are expensive. They are the most extreme, barefoot shoes I have, and they look good.

Do people wear socks with these?

With my nice ones, I wear socks. With my daily gross ones I don’t.

All of the sizes say “wide”. Is the word “wide” part of their standard sizing? Or, do they have normal and wide sizes?

Standard sizing. Your natural feet aren’t supposed to be in narrow shoes. They are all made to be wide
