I was actually going to suggest New Balance for their durability. Mine have lasted shockingly well for a couple of years now... I haven't had a pair of sneakers last more than a year for as long as I can remember! And I wore these while travelling around Europe last year too (and a couple other trips), so they've seen a lot of miles. Plus I think they're a little more labour-friendly than most other sneaker companies as well, although I think they've been getting some criticism recently about their use of factories in China. So, maybe those days are over for them.
