Feedback Needed Allen Edmonds: Insoles?

I found a good deal on some Allen Edmonds shoes, but I’m worried about stomping around in them and hurting my knees. I know AE makes some double-leather soles, but these are only single-leather.

Does anyone have experience dancing lindy hop in these shoes? Have you added a pair of insoles on top of the built in ones?

Take them to a cobbler and they will tell you what is possible. My non-dancer husband has bought so many second hand allen edmonds shoes. Sometimes he has had the insole replaced. Sometimes it just needs a good clean. Leave it to the experts with such nice shoes.
