My 14 year old DS abuses his shabbos shoes. Changing into sneakers won’t work. Who makes a black leather dress shoe that can withstand a real rough and tumble boy? Approx size 7.5

I make my sons wear their natives most of shabbos, and they only wear their shoes for shul and simchas.

Is he doing anything in them besides walking?
Is he growing quickly and you want to avoid spending a lot right now?
My husband likes his Florsheim leather dress shoes but my son about your son's size has cheaper shoes since he's just outgrowing them every time I get a wink of sleep  ok not exactly, but it feels like that... Either way, his shoes are definitely getting worn down on the heels and he hasn't worn then that much. If he isn't going to shul, he many times puts on either black Crocs or his slip on black loafers (weekday shoes) to hang out with friends...

Ecco shoes are very strong.

Im embarrassed to say but he plays basketball, football in them after Shul. He refuses to bring a change of shoes. It’s not a battle I want to fight. If they last 6 months with how fast he grows I am OK with it. He isn’t selfish or a money waster in any other areas.

So if budget isn't your concern now, I echo the Ecco recommendation

Ecco hybrid ones are awesome thanks for posting that brand. Price IS Steep. Hoping for some other suggestions under $100

Maybe Hush Puppies? Its a clumsy shoe but more sturdy. I can't imagine its cheaper than $100.
I haven't seen a shoe that can withstand the regular wear and tear of playful boys that just 'chap arein' to do this and that on the way home from shul so changing to crocs is not even a discussion.
Shabbos shoes is a quarterly expense and that's stretching it.
