He's had these ones for more than a year now and they still look pretty new. He'll wear out the tread before anything else. He's owned hard yakka and they last about a year or two.

That’s pretty good. Soles are the first thing to go for me, too. I know it isn’t directly comparable, because I’m doing outdoor, primarily on paved surfaces, at a substantial speed, and need my shoes to handle adverse weather. But damn, I wish I could get a pair of shoes that last me years.

You can probably get waterproof ones. Steel Blue have a big range.
