As a young punk I learned jumping and the general abuse of skateboarding destroys regular shoes. I don't skate nearly enough these days, but I still mainly buy Fallen shoes as they tend to be comfortable for walking+skating and don't just fall apart. I've had some pairs I actually grew out of and gave to my younger brother as they tend to be well made.
I've had good luck with DC and Emerica as well, Vans does make some thicker ones (as opposed to the Converse style) which I got good use out of.
Yea, skate shoes in general are pretty tough. I have a pair of vans that I have had around at least for a few years that are still completely usable to me. They have a small hole on the top of them, but I use them for skating and walking around town.
I'm wondering if their quality has gone down recently, or what. Vans skate shoes, especially the pro model ones, are pretty hard to wear down quickly from my experience. The only people I see that normally go through them quickly skate all the time.
