How long do cycling shoes last?

So they are discontinuing my model of road shoe. I have a weird wider food and the Lake CX160-X shoe is like my glass slipper, just perfect. Lake is no longer going to make them. The shoe was made for 2015 and its run its course for them I guess. My current pair is fine and I ordered another pair for the future.


My question is how long can I expect to get out of a pair of shoes? I take care of my shoes as well! I am 37 and say I am going to ride in clipless until I am 65(?) so that 28 years. Can I get 28 years out of 2 pairs, or should I order another pair? It took me 3 years to find the perfect shoe that was pain free so I want to make sure I have them for my cycling life.


thanks...
