    Yeah six months ago I spent $130 on a nice pair of runners from REI that I literally only use as walking shoes for my evening walks 3x/week and they are already falling apart. Pathetic! Next time I will shell out for trail runners, hopefully they are more durable.

      Don’t know if they’re available in the states, but the Inov8 graphene soled shoes have held up very well on rocky rough ground for me.

      https://www.somfootwear.com/ I'm not sure what type of running shoe you prefer, but these are a minimalist shoes made in Colorado. My first pair are in excellent condition after two years. I like them so much I bought a second pair just for non running activities. When the soles finally wear out they will re-sole for 50$ plus shipping.
