The heels of my Sanitas blew out after about a year and there was no way to return or replace them. My danskos, however, went strong for about 5 years before needing to be replaced.

They are staples clogs. If the side blew out, bring them to a shoe repair to put a staple or two in them. There shouldn’t be any pressure on the heels as they are a true clog and your heel shouldn’t touch the heel cup.

The rubber heel exploded and crumbled lol there was nothing to staple the leather to

That is usually from the shoe being left unworn for a long time and the rubber degrades. Could have happened before or after you bought them. A full sole replacement would be needed to fix this unfortunately. Some sneakers have the same issue when stored and not worn for a long time.

That's fair

I bought them new and wore them in the operating room 5 days a week for a year and the heel was fucked. Maybe they sat too long on the shelf, you're probably right
