GG sole quality was all part of the plan. Anyone agree?

I'm starting to believe the weak, eraser like soles on all of GG's shoes was done intentionally. I believe they know about these sole issues and have no intention of fixing them. It was all apart of the plan including the "Remake service" that you can pay hundreds to have the sole replaced. A consistent money maker for GG, that will keep the customer spending. I've been in love with GG for years now but the fact that I have to think about all these sole issues, trying to put sole guards, etc is just too much. It used to be an enjoyable designer shoe i didn't have to worry about dirtying , now I worry about the sole. Stardans, ss, ballstar, all horrible sole quality. Sad
