Query: Worst pair of shoes I have ever owned

I just threw a pair of these shoes in the garbage after owning them less than a year. Not only do the soles have the appearance and durability of cheap, spongy rubber, they wore so badly that I was experiencing foot and knee pain from wearing these shoes. I switched to a pair of New Balance service shoes and the relief was immediate.
