Shoe soles

So, after a month and a half I've gone through another pair of shoe soles, and am getting pretty damn broke replacing them, so I thought I'd ask what brands of shoes people have found to last longest before wearing out from griptape/footbraking. Have learnt the hard way to avoid World shoes, are there any others to steer clear of?

Also, I'm looking at getting some stick-on replacement soles so I can repair this pair and then have one pair of shoes for skating and one for general wear - should I go for the ones from Hopkin skate, the Rogers Bros ones, or is there a third option that's better? I'm after something light (i.e no car tyres) that'll last for ages and is fairly affordable. Any recommendations?

pumas!

this may be confusing but i have found shoes that have the soles like this :

wear waaaaaay faster than other soles.
my shoes of choice are basketball type shoes, pumas etc..
there soles are not like normal skate shoes.
Expensive to buy first of all but they last :)

My Nike SBs have lasted the

My Nike SBs have lasted the longest. Theyve been my dedicated skate shoes for like 5 months ish. I dont foot brake very much tho.

I have these too

They have lasted waay longer than any other shoes I have had, and theres still no signs of them falling apart. and plenty of tread still left on.

I had some Nike Air trial

I had some Nike Air trial running shoes that lasted for a good half a year of intense foot breaking and just casual wear and tear the year before I started longboarding. The only reason I stopped wearing them is because I pulled the sole off.

The feel of surfing... with the chance of dying.

CAR TIRE!!!!

Try find a old car tire then cut that up to the shape of your sole and glue it on, it may make 1 shoe higher then the other but if you have a dedicated pair of skate shoes it wont make a difference

car tyre is a bad idea. has

car tyre is a bad idea. has metal running through it. Go-kart is better.

I'm too impatient to want to

I'm too impatient to want to sit there with a car tyre and a craft knife and go through multiple blades, hence why I'm after a pre-shaped/easy-to-shape one like the Rogers soles or the Hopkin ones.

I haven't had much problem

I haven't had much problem cutting up a car tyre to shape, just takes some elbow grease and a hack-saw. Good times ;)

On the shoes front, I've only tried Duffs and Etnies so far. The duffs were gone after a couple sessions and my etnies are on their last legs after about a month and a bit of commuting (i foot break alot, still can't slide worth a damn...)
