my first pair lasted me about 3 weeks (which is super good for low profile shoes). I couldve easily skated it for another 1-2 weeks but i already bought a second pair after skating my first pair for about 2 weeks and just wanted to skate fresh shoes and the grip in my sole was worn down. For my first pair it took me about 1 week and a half to actually wear down the toe cap so that it shows the kickflip marks and that usually takes me half a week to a week to do that. I skate alot of low profile shoes such as Vans eras, slip ons, Hufs, and these outlast all of them. I skate literally everyday (thanks to California weather) for at least 3 hours and i do alot of flip tricks as well. I would highly recommend these shoes to anybody who is lookin for a low profile shoe with a little more durability than the rest. Also, reading the other reviews, any shoe is going to rip and some people do tricks differently than others so you wont know until you give it a shot but most people i know that had this shoe was not disappointed.
