Open Backed Shoes. Why Don't Some People Know About Them?

Why do so many people have shoes with crushed backs?
I can't count the number of people I see wearing shoes or slippers with the back crushed to the point that they essentially use them as an open backed shoe. Don't these people know they buy open backed shoes? What's up with that?
Since open backed shoes are pretty common in stores, I often wonder what is going on in their minds. Buying a regular shoe, then crushing the back turns it into an open backed shoe with a lumpy back. How is this better than simply starting with a properly designed open backed shoe?
I'm sure there's some benefit to starting with regular shoes, then crushing the back, but for the life of me, I can't figure it out.
I've seen so many sensible people walking around with crushed shoes it makes me wonder if there's a reason. Of course, I could ask them, but then I'd seem strange for asking about their choice in footwear. That will lead to them thinking I've got some kind of thing for shoes, and even wonder if I'm a fan of Sex in the City. Never seen it.
Perhaps I'm just too practical. Maybe some people like lumpy shoes. As for me, I never crush the backs of my shoes. If I want an open backed shoe, that's what I'll buy.
