I still wear them, moving them to the garage for lawn mowing shoes, and grabbing a new box. Usually buy them in sets of 3 from Amazon; size 14 in red.

In the early 90’s they were $18 and made in USA. Within 1 year they went to $40 and made in China.

Yeah the loss of quality really drives me nuts. I can wear a pair out in months instead of years now.
