Birkenstock Arizona Split Sandals for Women - Birko-Flor White & Gold - Size 42 Narrow (US 11-11.5) | Comfortable Orthopedic Footbed | Perfect for Casual Wear, Office, and Travel

I bought these in 2023 because I heard that birkenstocks last forever. It is June of 2024 and they completely fell apart. They are unwearable now. I only used them for walking short distances like at the pool from time to time so this was definitely disappointing. Are they fake birkenstocks or has their quality just really gone down that much?
