Actually yes... they do get used daily. I commute about 3.5 miles each way to work. They do wonders at keeping my feet warm and on wet days they keep them dry. Its also part that the material was unapropriate for the use.
Of cource, after posting I come up with another idea that I'm going to try first. Go to the thrift store and buy a pair of shoes, rip off the sole and use that. What would be a better sole, than a sole.
