All up, three pairs.

>How long do they last?
First pair (OneSport rOxygens) lasted, no joke, about two trips to Booroomba. Second pair, lace-up Anasazis that I got second-hand lasted for a good two years, including use for deep-water soloing, and are still good for bashing up easy routes in the gym if I feel the need. Third pair, LaSportiva Mistrals (my favourite shoe yet) which are still going strong after two years of inconsistent use, in and outdoors.

>Is comfort an issue?
Yes. But not nearly as much as performance.

>Do you buy for cost or practicality?
Practicality.

>What does it feel like borrowing shoes if you forget your own?
Shit. I hate wearing other peoples shoes, I can't work with it. Hence, I never forget my own.
