Sizing help for wide feet please :)

I'm looking to order a pair of the 401's from theshoemart, but I need to custom order them so I want to make sure I get the sizing right. I am an EE in most shoes and there are no stores in my area (Los Angeles) that carry anything besides a D or E width in Alden's. Last time I was measured on a Brannock I was a 10EE on the right and a 10E on the left.
I currently wear a 9H in RM Williams (UK sizing), 9 in Viberg's 2055 last and an 9EE in iron rangers. In sneakers I'm a 10.5EE (New Balance, Hoka's).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have also attached a picture of my current collection of black boots. I would love to expand my collection so if anyone has any other suggestions for wide hand made boots I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you IMG_1894.jpeg

Not 100% sure but I already have these and am a 10 on the Barrie and these algonquins in a 10 fit me great.

Question for the experts. I've got my mind made up on the Leffot C-8 tanker but have been waiting for a couple of years and they don't seem to be running them anymore. I'm looking for Barrie, antique, commando, flat welt, eyes/hooks. I know there are a few out there that are close (I actually had Adam's and its great but TB doesn't give me the flexibility of Barrie).

Anyone know of any retailers offering those exact spec's?

Not sure why JCrew rarely, if ever, provides the Alden lasts but those Algonquins looks like Barrie to me.

You could try some different widths in 405s/403s (Shoe Mart regularly stocks wides) before committing to the 401s.

Answered my own question, on Barrie.

And why is it that often the styles on sale are not the ones I want? Even as a New Yorker, I am not sure I have any need for an all black boot.
