The last pair of Sketchers Sport Men's Stamina Nuovo Cutback Lace-Up Sneakers lasted me over 10 years. I purchased these because they look great an were extremely comfortable for walking & the gym from the memory foam inserts, that is where the positive points  quickly ended.
The back interior of the sneaker behind each heal has hard plastic reinforcements, they cut right through the material within 3 months digging into my heals. A horrible design flaw Sketchers should of  fixed. I assume they have not.
