> For example theres a new trend for shoes in which soles wear out faster because of the material used.

Don’t buy shoes with EVA/foam soles, problem solved. All my shoes have leather, vibram (rubber), or dainite soles. All of them can be resoled as well.

A few brands to get you started, prices range from $200-$500ish but mostly $200-$350

Shoes: Grant Stone, Allen Edmonds, Meermin, Carmina

Boots: Red Wing, Wesco, White’s, Thorogood, Chippewa

For dress shoes, the top of the line Allen Edmonds are a great investment. High quality stitched leather uppers and soles. If you clean them, polish them, and store them in cedar shoe trees, they might just last a lifetime with resoling.

Thanks, I'll take note of these brands.
