Have been looking for some solid *long lasting *walking shoes, and have
seen these:

Brasher Country Traveller GTX Men's Walking shoe

A picture of them is in this site:

It says the sole is Countrymaster rubber sole.

I'm mainly stomping pavements, would this likely to be a hard wearing
sole would anyone know? I'm tired of soles that seem to wear out by
themselves just by putting the shoes on.

Thanks

I've found that the Brasher boots are not very long lasting: they good
lightweight boots, and if you accept them for that, they're fine.
Barsher are not made in the UK any more (despite the name).
Road/pavement walking does not do hiking boots any favours, so trail
shoes would probably fare better. +1 to the other poster suggesting
going to a half-decent walking shop where they'll fit you up correctly
(hopefully), and +1 to Zamberlan & Vibram soles.
