What's everyone's go-to sneaker?
No sport shoes are BIFL, but these approach shoes are all good durable options: • La Sportiva TX4 EVO • Scarpa Crux • Salewa Mountain Trainer 2 GTX • Zamberlan Salathe GTX RR • Kayland Miura GTX • Boreal Drom Tech • Mammut Alnasca Knit III Low GTX They’re all very highly regarded in professional reviews. My Scarpa Crux’s are about five years and they still look and feel brand new.

Non-popular sneakers which will last at least couple of years
Saucony, Brooks, Mizuno, Mammut, Innov8, Salewa, Scarpa, Sportiva, Lowa. All of those have a particular reputation for longevity and general quality. Bear in mind it may depend on the particular purpose, for instance more specialist/high performance models of those brands may be comparatively short lived, i.e. shoes that are intended to help you win a race at all costs. :) But in truth the BIFL answer is to buy cheap when sales come around. Combine with the above, there's your answer. Shoes don't live forever, it's about making your money go further.

Best hiking boots for men - Suggestions needed.
If you're looking for true BIFL, think resolable high-quality leather construction, such as White's or Nick's. That's what wildland firefighters wear, for example, because they can take a tremendous amount of punishment. For less expensive versions of the same philosophy, take a look at Jim Green. If you're looking for durable and good for hiking, but not resolable, take a look at Salewa hiking shoes. The last pair I had were well-constructed and used a hard rubber sole that lasts a lot longer than the soft rubber used in a lot of trail running shoes. If you're looking for the best hiking experience and aren't actually worried about BIFL, check out Altra Lone Peaks. No trail runners are BIFL since they use foams and rubbers that degrade pretty quickly, but there's a reason they're popular with through hikers. They're the most comfortable and nimble.
