The whole reason people like them is that they take the shape of your foot, and they are normally extremely long lived.
With a foam sole, the shoe will be wearing out just as the cork footbed starts to take your form. You will also have significantly worse traction than rubber soles. There's nothing cheap about these. You'd have to buy 3 or more pairs to try to equal the amount of miles a rubber sole would give. Meanwhile, the rubber sole wearer is enjoying their worn in cork footbed shaped to their foot while the foam soled fools are breaking in a new pair.
I just searched really quickly, but here's a model with a PU, or polyurethane, sole. It's extremely durable, but has a little less traction than rubber. Still a good choice. It comes in other colors if you don't like the look. Basically choose any model. Scroll down to materials, and look for PU outsoles instead of EVA.

Some may also say "rubber EVA" which is an EVA foam midsole with a thin rubber outsole like on this men's model:

couple of things to note:
- Shipping is not free; it's $5 (at least for a single pair)
- Shipping charges are not refundable if you return

Still, I'd love to try out one of their legit cork and leather versions bases on my relatively positive experiences with their basic line.

Having said that, I've read that ever since this company was bought by LVMH, quality has taken a nose dive. I just ordered a few pairs from their website and every pair had a defect.

I'm sorry to hear about your shoes, but it's obvious from the material they are trying to sell women at $200 MSRP that they don't care about being the legendary value company that they used to be. Its still pretty easy to find some rubber soles in the men's line, but they are screwing women over.
