Durability: Era vs Authentics(Do Era's foxing split like Authentic)

I have a pair of Authentics that I love, but the foxing at the ball of the toe has split(as usual). I'm wondering if getting Eras will be better as to not have this happen. I love the clean classic look of Authentics and Eras obviously look similar enough with what seems to be a more solid construction. Any thoughts from seasoned Vans customers?
