From personal experience, the shoes last about the same if I buy expensive or not.
I think the choice of shoes also depends on what type of footwork you practice.
For my style I found certain shoes more of a handicap than others. ;)
Said that my Sifu has no recommendations for shoes and everybody uses what they are comfortable with. From cheap canvas shoes to expensive shoes, most(if not all) are low-cut below the ankle.
