AE Park Avenue - C Width

Been looking for a back-up pair of brown lace-ups, and saw the PAs on Amazon for $146. The only AEs I've ever tried on were the Copleys (patent lace-up), and from what I remember, they fit ok in 8.5D (though my retailer didn't carry the narrow sizes). My feet run a bit narrow to begin with, but I usually just deal with it since most don't carry different widths. How narrow do the C widths run (I believe the PA is the 5 last, correct?).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would second the above. If you customarily wear a D, you don't want to go to C with the A-E #5 last. If you are, as you say, a "narrow D" (like me), the Park Avenue in D width will probably be a good fit. If you are on the wide end of the D spectrum, you may get a better fit by going to an E with the PA.
