What am I looking at?

probably. maybe like an with embrodery patch

This is a shoe

it’s easier to see when I’m wearing it, but the fabric is tearing right where it meets the sole

ah, yeah that's bad

OH that's a shoe. yeah that's... you can slapdash it if you have no way to get new shoes but these shoes are ultimately fucked

You MIGHT be able to patch it with like hot glue, or similar, but there's absolutely 0% guarantee it will last any length of time

the worst part is the tearing is uneven

the left shoe is perfectly intact
