Having trouble finding quality sneakers
generally speaking skateboard shoes are overbuilt to withstand their use case and will last a lot longer than a normal sneaker if you don't skate. Ton's of brands like dc, emerica, vans, etnies, e's, hours is yours, osiris, globe etc. Some of the bigger companies make skate shoes as well, iirc adidas and nike both have lines.

What's everyone's go-to sneaker?
If you're talking about a shoe for day to day wear you can put walking miles on comfortably you need a shoe designed for skating. Etnies makes phenomenal shoes that last forever. They have a line that uses Michelin rubber on the sole. Hit them with a waterproofer when you buy them then about every year after and they'll last for a decade. I also like that they are simple, plain shoes.

Your comfiest general shoes for walking?
it's not a running shoe but for my feet it's the etnies Kingpin. After it's maybe because i used to skate and I'm not a big fan of theses big running soles.

What brand of shoes that lasts?
Skate shoes. They last forever, can take abuse, and are comfortable. I'm a fan of Etnies Maranas. Get them with the Michellin (yes like the tires) gum soles. Throw some Crep Protect waterproofing on them every six months and they'll look brand new.

What brand of shoes that lasts?
I used to get a pair of etnies and those things would last years and years and years and years, eventually I think once they got dirty and gross enough I would throw them out even though they were still probably fine but I got several years out of every pair. I don't know if they're still making them as good as they did back then but if you like skateboards use maybe try a pair of those if they're even still around
