Poor Service / Poor Quality Products / Bad Experience

I purchased a pair of sandals last month. It was used for about 3 weeks in that time and it broke. I took it to the store and they said that we cannot return it or get a refund because it was after 30 days. That I understand, but this is not a return because of personal preferences, sizing, etc. It literally ripped open - poor quality passed down to the consumer. So is it good to say that, in my experience - if I buy a pair of shoes from you, it will last all of 3 weeks to a month? I should have bought 12 pairs then if I need to use it for a year - That is the message I am getting from you. Pathetic. Sad. The shoe broke before a month and I only went in a few days after the 30 day window - this was a few weeks back, but just wanted to let you know - very poor service, quality, instore service, etc. In this day in age with the consumer being pressed from all sides, it's worse when big companies like this just add to it. Boils down to theft - it's ok to sell me something that is not working/usable, and that lasts for a few days - but no complaints when you take our hard earned cash.
