It depends. My most expensive gloves, Specialized Ridge long fingered gloves ($30) are wearing fast and I've had them since March. I wouldn't buy them again. My short fingered gloves, Specialized BG gloves ($20) also see a lot of use and they have stretched out a bit, but are still comfortable. I've had those since February and I would definantely buy some again.
I also have a pair of Nashbar crochet gloves I use for summer and Performance brand long fingered gloves I use for mountain biking. These gloves don't get used as much so I went cheap with them.
