NWOT Leather suede heels

Brand new, never worn, leather black suede heels. Size 9. They are a beautiful shoe but the elastic band ankle makes it personally harder for me to walk in them. I'm sure this could easily be fixed with a Dr. Scholls product but I have other black heels and would rather pass these on without altering them. Otherwise they are extremely comfortable for a heel and the sole padding is pretty thick.
