Hi all,
I'm looking for my first pair of chelsea boots (first pair of boots period) to wear with nice jeans on weekends, etc.
I'm not comfortable with buying C&J shoes online since the various US - UK sizing charts are so vastly different and since I usually have to try on several pairs in a story to find the one that fits well.
I live in SF and there is a local Ralph Lauren store so I'm hoping they have these:

At $750 they're expensive, but there's nothing else in this city. There's Alden and AE but they don't have chelseas that I know of. I'd buy some RMW but again I doubt they'd fit on the first pair. I'd have to get three and return or sell the ones that don't fit. My foot length is 11.5" (US size 12 depending on the last... charts online say 10.5 which is BS). My width is 4.37 which puts me close to an E size, again, depending on the shoe.
Any advice for people who know a lot about high-end shoes / boots?
