Clipper Slip-On Sneaker (Men)

I received a pair for Christmas and I loved them. They're comfortable, stylish, and never a hassle to put on or take off. However, the outsole started breaking apart after 4 months of occasional wear. For some reason the rubber is thinner where the shoes crease, meaning basic walking is detrimental to the material. The left shoe showed damage first but the right shoe, while not as exposed, had the exact same issue. By no means do I think the shoe is poorly made but this must be some kind of design flaw in the silhouette. Hopefully this gets resolved in the future because I would definitely buy another pair.
