Oakleaf,
I love you! Thanks for the tips! I have my own insoles, and most honestly, am not a freak about catching things. She is going to sell these shoe to me for $25 and they look great.
I'll give them a wipe with some weak bleach solution. Thanks again! As for the hot spots, I am going to try the eggbeater Candy SL pedals. I will try some wool socks as well!

As long as you aren't going to drink out of them, you should be fine.

Used shoes... Gross! Just kidding. I wouldn't buy used wetsuit booties, but cycling shoes. No problem.
For hot spots, invest in a shoe stretcher. It has worked wonders for me.

I've only ever bought used bike shoes (on eBay). I take that back, I did buy my Keen commuter sandals new- but the other 4 pair of bike shoes I've owned have all been used. And I wear them without socks- so I guess I'm kinda gross.
