I do a bit of dog walking 5-6 miles most days, sometimes a little more, not hard terrain, across fields. I purchased some Karrimore shoes (a trainer style) to use during the better weather (other wise I wear Brasher boots or if really wet wellies)

They're comfortable enough but they've worn out already, only used for 1 season. The soles have worn unevenly and uppers are starting to separate.

Can anyone recommend a decent pair, that'll last.

Okay I need to buy some new walking shoes next week. Karrimors have collapsed.

I've looked @ online reviews, Merrells are twice the price but not covered in glory re longevity. At least if I spend £30 on another pair Karrimors I know a year is about it. I resent paying twice the price for little benefit.

Anymore suggestions or should I just go cheap and resign my self to slinging them in about a year. Rough man maths these shoes have only covered around 1k-1.2k miles, gentle walking across fields and stuff. (and no I'm not a lard arse, I'm 12 stone light weight)

Am I just expecting too much?
