A quality shoe can be revitalized. You have to take the insole out and do some cobblery mucking about, then fit a good leather insole formed and fitted to your foot and the shoe. The cost is not reasonable, and unless we are speaking of near magical Italian or other handmade footwear, best to get your own new shoe. That said, if you do not mind investing $200+, it can be done.
