Terrible quality Shoes

You would think that paying such a large amount of money for a single pair of shoes would give you quality and long service. I purchased a pair of shoes less than 5 months ago and it's already tearing. I can literally count the number of times I have worn the shoe and I only wash the bottom edges so I cannot understand how the material can tear so easily. Personally when it comes to shoes I have always used Nike however my husband prefers Puma and has been using it for many years with no problems at all. We are both really disappointed with the brand and this shall certainly be the last time that we purchase shoes of a Puma brand.
