are these carmina horsebit loafers still usable?

Going for 24usd. Seller bought it 1.5yrs ago. It’s not expensive but I’d hate to keep “junk” items if that makes sense. I don’t have any loafers atm 🥹

Probably would look pretty good if you shine them up. The warping at the side looks a bit unsightly though, unless it mostly goes away when worn?

I am worried about the warping, yeah. I’m not familiar with loafers at all 🥹 i hope it does go away. my feet aren’t narrow okay, my friend who works at a shoe store weighed in. he said these loafers are ruined. he thinks the owner has wide feet and tried to fit in these narrow loafers.

Look completely knackered. Probably too tight for the feet and then got soaking wet to get in that sort of condition.
