Default How long does your tennis shoes last?

I got to say I don't buy very expensive shoes; in fact, I never spend more 60/$70 which I think it's a fair price for a decent pair of shoes and I have bought only Adidas so far. However, if I had to play only indoor they would last me about 8/9 moths but on out door courts I wear them out if 2/3 months regularly.

How about you?

I rotate between 3 pairs and I play 90% of my tennis on clay, so usually I get 6-8 months out of a pair.

6-8 months. Courtballistec soles have excellent durability. I tend to wear our the inner heel of the shoes. I play 3-5 times a week -- half hard court half clay

I'm in about to return my shoes just bought...played for about 10 hours and the thread on the out sole on the front toes are almost gone.

Did you guys tried the Babolat propulse 2?
I'm also thinking about wilson any suggestion there? does wilson shoes have a true fit?
