These shoes are made with cheap foreign labor now out of low cost materials like foam rubber, machine knitted uppers, and glue. It’s just greed.

You can get cheap shoes for almost nothing. This article is about parents who indulge in decadent wastefulness and pathological consumerism and then complain about not having money.
