I wouldn't want any plastic compound that dries out like that in my house.

When plastics go from soft to brittle like that, it generally means that they are leaching Bisphenol A, a common compound in soft plastics that is a known carcinogen. Do yourself a favor an chuck them in the garbage and never let another pair in your house.

Plus they are ugly.

Eh, I've got a sleekish pair that I use for crappy weather stylin. No problems after a year. Sounds like it's a crapshoot though.
