I have a pair of Air Max 95 that I bought in '95, still going. Have quite a few pair of Vans that I have had 10+ years.
I take care of my shit, it lasts.
I've had zero issues with the last two pair of Asics I've bought. Before that I wore New Balance with zero issues. Though over the last 3 years, the only time I wear them is on my days off
I wear boots most the time, but have 2 pair of Sperry's that have both held up to ALOT of abuse. I am very rough on footwear. The only "tennis" shoes I have found that will handle my complete lack of care are Addidas indoor soccer shoes.
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
I've had good luck with Adidas and Nike, but prefer Adidas.
Usually have to buy a new pair of dress shoes for work every 1.5 years. Last pair I bought were Steve Maddens and were very comfortable.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776
for work I wear Shoes For Crews they are great if you work in food. I used to wear Rockport but they would come apart after about 6 months. I wear mostly Nike for casual
I go through shoes every 2-6 months. I'm on my feet 10-12 hours a day and on concrete the whole time. I spend quite a bit on shoes but if my feet don't hurt at the end of the day, it's worth it.
Sadly my boss told me Friday I have to buy solid black shoes for work instead of using another pair I had. I was trying to save a little coin before the kiddo comes

My shoes last for years, I only buy name brand though. I have a good amount of shoes and I rotate through them, I have some that are 8 years old and look brand new because I clean them when they get dirty.
Vans mostly, but I bought some Nike roche wovens because my shoe obsessed roommate(60something pairs of shoes) said they were really comfortable, they're not that great.
I don't feel so bad now. I have never paid over $45 for a pair of shoes or hiking boots. (not counting dress shoes and boots). I get about 6 mo - 1 yr if I don't mess them up doing things like painting or welding in them.
