> Shredurance (shredurance.com) answers "how long do skate shoes actually last?" with sourced numbers: hours of skating until a shoe gets its first hole or is worn out. It's built from published long-term wear tests and skater reports, with a source link and quote for every data point. Last compiled 2026-10-19.

## Key facts
- 82 skate shoe models, 99 sourced data points, 19 models ranked.
- The ranking metric is the median hours of skating until the shoe was done (worn through or retired). "No hole after X hours" results are lower bounds and are never ranked.
- Most models have only 1–2 sources, and each page says when data is thin.
- Affiliate links (e.g. Tactics via Sovrn) never affect rankings.

## Methodology summary
- Unit: hours of actual skating. Calendar time is converted only when the source gives a schedule, and those points are flagged as derived.
- Failure points: done/retired (ranked), first hole, hole during a fixed test, no hole yet (a lower bound).
- Same-tester results are counted once. Every point has a public source URL, date and quote.
- Community reports are checked by hand before publishing.
