Hello, I'm looking into buying a pair of nice leather shoes for walking to class everyday. I will be wearing BB Clark Chinos in the colors British Khaki, Dark Taupe, Khaki, and Stone. Would the AE Wilbert in brown be a good choice?

I actually went to the Allen Edmonds store today to take a look and have my feet measured. The saleswomen used the Brannock device and told me that I should get a 7.5 E. It felt pretty tight when I tried it on, but the saleswomen checked the fit and said it was right. Should I assume that she's right? I am not exactly sure how tight a shoe should feel.

Also, I don't think I will be able to find a cheap pair of 7.5 E Wilberts on Ebay, can anyone recommend an alternative to buying it for $245 at retail? Thanks for the help.

Did I miss it or are you not allowed to choose your shoe width for the wilbert on shoemart? I added a 7.5, and it shows up in my cart as a 7.5 3E, with no way to choose width. That's probably all they have.

Should I go up a size in length (to 8) or in width (to EE)?

Edit: I called the shoe bank and they said they have the Wilbert in a 8E factory second for $184. Should I go with this?
