Any Skechers trailer shoes. I just complited whole CF with a pair like that and although you can see some wear and tear on the inside, the outside of the shoe and the sole are in perfect condition.

I walked whole 1900 km with
Skechers SK237304 Max Protect Hiking Shoes without a single blister and tey are stil in such a good shape that I am going to use them on my upcoming CF in July. Used to use Mizuno but after trying Skechers I have changed "religion". And I use size and a half larger...
