Does this classify as a score? Bally shoes.

Please pardon my ignorance, but I just picked up these oxblood Bally slip-ons from a local thrift store just now for twenty bucks and I'm not too sure if these are any good, or not. Any help would be much appreciated.

Ballys have been made everywhere from Switzerland to Italy to France to... gasp... China. The Swiss-made are highly regarded. I own an old pair which I love and which are very finely made. So, yes, I think you did well.

$20? No, unless you plan to wear them yourself.

If you put them on ebay you will get not more than $30.
