@Carmina can we MTO the side zip boots?

You definitely can.

Time for an upgrade to Carmina. The last good shoe I bought was 1984 AE Oxford Wingtip 5 Last 10.5D. ( which I still have) Brannock has me listed as a 10.5 EE US and the AEs are now tight across the arch and width, a little loose in heel but that might be due to extreme age and multiple factory reworks. I do have a high arch, obviously wide foot with narrow heel. I'll need a good toe box since I have some hammer toe issues also. I tried on some Park Avenue, 11EE that were tight on arch.

From what I've read it would seem that Detroit 10 EEE might be correct? Any help would be great.

@Carmina can we MTO the side zip boots?

Definitely, I'm waiting for a pair to arrive. Should be here in 10 days but the wait is killing me. I'll post pictures when I receive them

Guys, quick question, Llubi vs Rain, same size?

I have Llubi boots on 8UK and I'm counting down the days to get my rain suede derby on 8UK. So same size to me.

Received my MTO fee waiver 80184 Jumper Boots in Green Cordovan yesterday but it was raining so no good outdoor photo opportunities. Fantastic work, great Customer Service and very quick shipping. The shoe care kit was included in the parcel too. Very happy. Thanks @Carmina .

I've only dealt with Detroit in EE size - wide enough but the instep was too generous for me, toe box was good. I'm roughly a US 10E/10.5D (10.25D would be perfect) and the boots I have (Chelsea pull-ons) are a 9EE. From your description, I'd say you are on the money sizing-wise especially with your higher instep. Hope this helps.
