Reply to comment by coldfootwpulses in Looking for a pair of every day tennis shoes that don’t wear out within 3-6 months by leavin_marks

I’ve heard those recommended before, I’m just always wary of flatter shoes, they tend to be more uncomfortable for me. The last two pair of adidas I had (Adidas Cloudfoam) wore out in 4 months so I am also suspicious of their quality, but maybe the sambas are a step up.

i think you may benefit from buying shoes in real shoe stores with warranty info clearly discussed prior. most shoe stores have consignment so they really don't care if they give you a store credit back if your shoes wore out within 6 months (the company will happily eat the cost). and most running shoe brands have 6 months return policy.

What do you mean by real shoe stores?

like your neighborhood running shoe store. or a tennis shop that carries tennis shoes. probably not a chain store but some good chain stores will also honor those warranties.

I honestly have never seen one of those anywhere around me. We have a lot of specialized sneaker head stores, or a lot of chain shoe stores (Rack Room Shows, Foot Locker, Famous Footwear) but I’ve never seen a specialized running shoe shop or tennis shop. I’ll have to do some digging, but with a quick google nothing seems to come up. Thanks for the advice.
