Nothing with a vulc sole anymore that’s for sure. 3 months use there, vulcanised sole, and I’ll assume brakeless? Yup that’s about as long as you’ll get tbh. Quality and longevity is way less on almost every brand now, and add in brakeless riding destroys almost all shoes as they’re not designed for it, short product lifespan

Did you buy regular classic vans or skate/bmx/wafflecup ones? Classics are for strictly for chilling/casual wear. I ride in either skate slip ons or skate halfcabs. They last me at least a year per pair, much longer if I rotate between the shoes.

Have you tried maybe running a brake?

In my experience vans have lasted the longest. I ride brake less and almost strictly park a couple times a week. 6 months is like the max I’d get out of them. The skate/bmx lines are a little more durable but nothings impervious to falling apart riding brake less.
