While there are many brands that provide specific durable models, we have to point out that New Balance makes some of the most long-lasting shoes out there. Their 574 series has been known to last for years — and that’s also why that’s their most iconic pair. Plenty of healthcare professionals used to wear them during long hospital shifts, but they’re an excellent choice for any other kind of long-lasting work as well. While they may not be the most stylish shoe, they’ve got two things going for them — they’re comfortable, and they’ll last you a long time.
