It seems shoes are getting made increasingly cheaply nowadays because the past 2 years or so I have had trouble finding a pair of tennis shoes that I can wear to work every day that don’t wear out within 3-6 months. Either the outsole goes bald, the insole develops holes in the heel and big toe areas, or counter lining rips around my heel. I’m not a heavy guy, I weigh around 170 pounds. Apparently I must walk really hard or something. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shoe (preferably with a non-white outsole option) that will last at least a few years?
Edit:
Some of the shoes I’ve tried include: Adidas Cloudfoam Pure, Nike Revolution 6, and Champion Legacy Lo Slip-On Sneakers

Wearing the same pair everyday is a big part of the problem. Get a few pair if you can afford to, and alternate.
Edit to add: you are right though, they’re more cheaply made today, but this will help them last longer.
