I go through a pair of Merrell Moabs every 4-5 months, slightly less now that my hip is causing me to have to reduce my walking. I do feel that the Moabs went downhill going from 2 -> 3.

My shoes are Hoka Speedgoat, 2 pairs of 5s, 2 pairs of 6s so far. I find both models equally comfortable, but I can see the durability of 6s is worse than 5s. Some of the upper parts of the shoe that were previously made of a solid material are a tape covered mesh in the newer model, which wears out much faster. None of my shoes have broke fast enough for me to start looking for an alternative, as going to a store and trying out every model on sale to find my ideal match is a long and tiring process compared to buying another pair of a known good model online, so I'm sticking with them so far. Which is all probably a part of their business strategy.
