I hope we can find ways to reverse things like that. I know they profit that way but didn't know those specifics. But I understand that system of profit. They make things as cheap as possible to make more profit and to get them to come back sooner and more often again and again and all of that becomes normal for people. We all think it is normal to buy clothes and new shows so often like once a year or few years or every few months.... but shoes should be able to last many years.....
