Methodology

Shredurance only shows numbers that someone actually published. Every data point links to its source and quotes the text it came from.

What we count

Done / retired: hours until the source said the shoe was finished, unskateable, or blown through. Only these points feed the leaderboard median.
First hole: hours when the first hole appeared. The shoe may have kept going after that.
Hole during test: a hole showed up during a fixed-length test, for example Weartested's 10-hour test. Outer-layer-only holes are noted.
No hole yet: the shoe was still intact after X hours. This tells us the shoe lasts at least X hours, so it is never ranked as if X were the final number.

Results from the same tester are counted once (Rippedlaces and SkateboardersHQ share an author).
When a source gives a schedule instead of hours (e.g. "1 hour a day, 5 days a week, 3 months"), we convert it, flag it as derived, and show the math.
Monthly durations without hours ("lasted 3 months") are shown on shoe pages but never ranked.
Results vary a lot with grip tape, trick style, skater weight and patching. A single source is a hint, not a verdict.
