Anonymous asked: I know you always say buy shoes that fit your feet. I'm a 7D but found a great pair of C&J suede dub monks for a price I couldn't resist, but there 7E. If I add another pair of insoles would it fix the extra room I will have? If so can you recommend a pair of insoles I should invest in? I always have a pair of wingtips that are 1/2 size bigger.

Unless you really know your way around C&J lasts and know for sure it would fit you, then I wouldn’t buy it. Seems like a potential waste of money to me.
