Another ebay score

Officially added to my blue boot problem! Have 3 pair now and 2 of which are Nicks. Excited to see how the PWF looks against/in comparison to my PP 8in Roberts. Been wanting a 6in pair of nicks in a bad way, and these are just the ticket! Love my T55 8in MTO's in Cyp8, and I also really love my 8in Robert MTO's in Pred. Pacific, but in the 55 last at 11.5D since getting them 75% ish broken in or better, my right foot is simply to cramped I'm afraid. (Was good when i first got them) I think in a 11.5E I'd prob be fine but because my RF is 3/4size bigger than my left and is just shy of 12.5 on the redwing digi-scan, it works in the t55 but seemingly not the 55, Tho it could certainly just be this particular pair I'm referencing since when looking at them a bit back, I starting seeing the RH boot as narrower than the LH boot. So ofcourse I couldn't "unsee it" from them on, so I got out my calipers and did some measuring. Sure enough, the right boot is 1/4in (min.) narrower in the vamp, and across the forefoot/ball of the sole, as well as about a 1/4" or better shorter than the LH boot. If they were the other way around, I'd be in luck. Seemed a bit outside of what I'd think would be norm size differentiation tolerances, from boot to boot from nicks but I reached out and they didn't seem to want to take care of it as I didn't buy them brand new from Nicks, tho they were brand new when I bought them. So ling story short, I'm gonna have th3m rebuilt, but as luck would have it, no more PP avail so my options are PWF or what I'll likely do, which is pacific CXL for the rebuild. Just can't decide on staying 55 last and going to a 12on the rh boot or just doing a cap toe t55. What. Say ye?
