Will these shoes work for the 1830s?

I bought these vintage leather shoes. They are pretty simple with a slight heel, pointed toe and a a bow. I'm just wondering if they'll pass as I didn't want to buy anything super expensive since I just can't afford that for the shoes, especially when ballet flats seemed ok.

Should I add laces to them or are they ok as is? Should I try to cover the metal part of the bow detail?
