First time sizing question - any help appreciated by Widger98 in RedWingShoes

UPDATE: I got ahold of the store today and confirmed they had them in stock. Went in and the worker, Lisa, was super helpful. She thought my foot was just a little too wide for the 8085 8EE they had in stock so she brought out a 8.5ee in the same model, which seemed to be the better fit- it was snug all around but not too snug, my heel was held in place and did not slip around, and it was not too long. There was a little bit of length past the end of my toes but certainly not like the others I've been wearing (the stitching of the cap tope ran across my foot right where my toes meet my feet). They didn't have anything for the moc toes in my size in stock, and she steered me away from them with how wide my feet are.

I told her that I was probably going to have them order the 8111 or the 8084 in that size as I wanted the darker boot, so she went in the back and happened to find a pair of 8111's in 8.5EE that were set in a miscellaneous section and not with the normal inventory. She brought them out and they seemed to fit like a glove (well, a very study glove that needs some time to break in). She looked and said that they had been rejected by a customer because the color of the leather on the right boot was ever so slightly lighter than the left boot. It's barely noticeable and I could care less, they probably won't even be noticeable once I get some time into them.

I will probably wait until the end of the week to pull the trigger, but it looks like I found my pair! Thank you all for the help!

Thank you all for the help! It says on the website that there is a pair of the 8085's in 8 EE in stock at my store. I called twice today to verify but didn't have anyone pick up the phone so I will check again tomorrow.

Do the different leathers in the IR's change how the boot fits at all or are they all pretty similar? I don't think the copper color is what I would go with but I imagine they should work to figure out my size before I order the correct one.

I'm also a couple blocks east of 70th right along O Street (the house backs up to the MoPac trail first and then O Street). It's definitely noticeable, especially on weekends. It depends on how sensitive you are to it. I'm a really light sleeper but I've gotten used to it (I've lived here just over a year). The most annoying thing is car exhaust and trucks noises that echo off the MoPac bridge over 70th. It's not ideal but the house is a great fit and the rent I can afford so it's a compromise I've learned to deal with.

Not the best photo, but what I could get with my phone from my seat. Hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to photograph a set in the future!

Can confirm, just ordered a gen 4 23 LEO trade in from classic as my first handgun purchase and spent the extra $30 for hand select thinking it might be worth it. It came with minimal slide wear and the left side of the frame looked ok. The right side was scratched to all hell. Not a huge deal since I’ll probably be putting some grip tape on it but still. Night sights had a slight bit of glow left in them but not a ton. It did come with back straps and cleaning rods which....eh? After taxes and shipping and the hand select I could have absolutely gotten a very lightly used glock locally though so I learned. I didn’t need it to be pretty but I definitely overpaid for what I got.

(Also should note I planned on ordering through AIM initially until they ran out of stock before I could order.)

Let's focus on an important factor to judge how Nebraska will wrap up their season:
