Shoes that dont wear out and start falling apart after a year?
After buying a $70 pair of Vans at famous footwear and having them literally fall apart after using them as daily walking shoes, I’ve realized the quality of shoes overall has gone down over the last decade or so.
I don’t mind if they cost $100 or more, are there medium-light weight walking shoes that can withstand the horrors of walking on pavement? I remember checking out some Ecco shoes at the mall years ago, didn’t pull the trigger as they were almost $300 but the way the construction was described to me it sounds like those could last 5+ years.
What shoes do you have that you wear almost daily (not during the winter), and have had for almost a year but aren’t falling apart?

Have another look at Ecco's they're exactly what you're looking for. There are good models for 1-200 dollars that last for years and are great for putting city miles on. I got a pair about four years ago when I was commuting on busses and going through cheap shoes every couple months. They're still in great shape and clean up nice.
I used to recommend Ecco, but they are currently making the bank as they refuse to ramp down business in Russia. I'll never buy a pair again.
That doesn’t bother me so I’m going to still consider them. The pair I tried on fit better than any pair of shoes I’ve tried on.
