Lifespan?

What do we think of the lifespan of modern Converse? I got a pair of Chuck All Stars back in November of last year. I wear them them everywhere and they are falling apart at this point. The white part of the outer sole keeps separating from the brown part. I have used shoe goo to keep them together but it's becoming a lost cause. I love Converse aand I really like the Chucks in the Frozen Acai color. I really want to get them but I would like them to last longer than a year. Does anyone have any tips on how to not wear them out as fast?
