New for me shoes! Do they need a sole replacement?

Hello! First time posting here.

I got some VanLier, I think brogue, dress shoes at a local second hand store today. For the price I took them immediately and they fit relatively well.

They seem to be in good shape, but I am worried about the front part of the sole, under the toebox. It seems to have been worn down to the stitching. Does it look bad? Does it need to be repaired before I use them?

Thanks in advance!
