And they're ridiculously expensive for some injection molded foam rubber. You don't have to cut or sew leather or fabric, or bind soles, or punch holes for laces like with a shoe/boot. Manufacturing them is cheap as shit. So why do they cost so much?

$40-50 for a shoe that lasts half a decade doesn't seem bad. What do you think they should cost?

They only last that long if you only use them to fetch the mail or take out the trash.
