I have a pair of vintage high heels. The shoes are open but the inside lining of the shoe is torn and stiff. Bellecraft. 50s/60s.
Could I get a shoemaker shop to replace this? Been a very long time since I have seen a cobbler?
Would you keep the original to list or sell as is? Sorry if too silly a ?
Thanks in advance. Very cute with a bow.
 
You could try gluing the lining down - that way you don't have to replace. I would probably list as is unless they were very bad, but gluing would be my first port of call depending on how bad it was.
 
If the lining is stiff too, the shoes might be uncomfortable to wear even with the lining glued down. If I had a pair of shoes that I was determined to save, I would probably try some conditioning of the lining first, if it's leather. If it's faux, I might remove as much of the torn parts of the lining as I could. And definitely list with full disclosure.

It sounds like As-Is is a good way to go.
