Write to the company and express your displeasure. I bet you get a free pair or at least a discount on some new ones.
If I’m ever dissatisfied with a product even slightly, I let them know. Nowadays with this new fangled thing called the electronic spider web or the interpol-net or whatever, it’s easier than ever to communicate with a copmpany.
A corollary to that is when I find a product that exceeds my expectations, I also let them know.
In the former situation, I often get a coupon for a free or discounted item. In the latter, sometimes then send me something similar.
Squeaky wheel gets the oil.
(it all started like 40 years ago. I like Titleist golf balls and my dad suggested i write and tell them. The sent me a sleeve of balls and said to share them with my fellow golfers to spread the word. Hmmmm, I thought. So I wrote several other golf ball manufacturers and sho’nuff they also sent me some free swag.)
