Used Allen Edmonds - Worth $75?
Found these Allen Edmonds on sale for $75 + 7 dollars shipping. My eyes aren’t trained for any flaws in shoes but I feel like the heels are in bad shape. Should I get them or is it a bad idea?

can always do a quick search on sold auctions for comparable items and what they actually sold for. a quick reverse search on your pic showed a sold pair in a little worse condition for about half that https://www.ebay.com/itm/335232711306

Would you say the shoes I found are in good condition?
i'm hardly an expert but i'd say they're in fair condition
i have plenty of shoes in similar or worse condition that i wear regularly
biggest thing i'm seeing is the heels seem a little more worn than the rest of the shoe which is kinda weird
Yeah the heels are cooked, might bother you depending on your gait
Is there a guide to check gait?
No there’s no way to know something like that, it’s totally specific to every person
Just be aware that you may have to get the heels replaced
^ this is better guidance than i can provide
Thank you both!
No. You can find Alden tassels in better condition for the same price
Look at the wear on the heels - is it even or just on one side. Ditto for the soles - if one side is heavily worn compared to the other pass
Also, I don’t know what causes it but I’ve always found those circular patterns on the sole to be signs of heavy wear
I got a similar pair at goodwill for 20$ but it's really heavily luck dependent, it took me a lot of attempts at a number of shops to find something
