Can these AE shoes be saved?

[Tyrone MacStiophain]

I'm a bit new both to SF and to quality shoes, and trying to get into some Allen Edmonds or Aldens on ebay. (I thougt I had narrow feet, but my AE Sanfords in 9.5 B - first try at good shoes - are too tight.)

I like these AE Lloyds, but the tops of the heels are torn up. Can anything be done about this? Should I buy them cheap or let them go?

those look awful, I would not attempt anything

sell those, buy something else

Thanks to all for the responses. That's what I thought. Those shoes are now removed from my ebay watch list!

This is what happens to your heels if you don't use a shoehorn.
