I've been running in barefoot shoes for several years, and xero hfs for the last two years. I find that they wear out rather quickly, in the range of 230-250 miles

What brands have longer lasting materials for the sole? Are there any that could stretch to 300 miles and beyond?

I haven't tried the toed kind, but I had a great long-lasting pair of barefoot running shoes from Merrell. Also a great pair of lightweight hiking boots. Definitely recommend Merrell.
