Redbacks. Bought them on the recommendation of pretty much every boot-related post on Reddit. But I got the basic, untreated ones, didn't clean and oil them regularly, and they lasted one season.

They have been super comfortable, so I think next time I have budget for boots, I'll get the heavy duty steel toe Redbacks.

Dining room furniture. It lasted well, but the design is so dated now!

I bought a 120 gig iPod back in 2008 cause I'd never be able to fill up that much music! It's somewhere under my childhood bed in my parents house. I think the charging port shit out on me after a couple years..

I have a pair of Keen hiking boots (you know the ones...you've seen them I promise) that I've had for literally ten years. I'm sure they'd have more wear on them if I did serious hiking more often, but they are glued to my feet every rainy season and are still going strong to the point that I see no signs of failure anywhere. I oil and condition the leather once per year before the wet season.

Also, raw denim jeans. They take longer to break in but I've had a pair that's been with me six or seven years now through 30 lb swings. I've had them tailored twice, and they are still one of my nicest looking most comfortable pairs of jeans.

Loake boots, goodyear welted and a great quality leather. They have some wrinkles but I look after them, on my second sole and when conditioned they look amazing.
