Seeking company willing to make 2 different size side zip boots (or) Lace to toe w side zipper

70 years old and retired, don't need heavy boot (lighter and comfortable, prefer all leather).

Wore combat boots for 28 years. Right foot 10.2 D Brannock, left 9.2 E Brannock. Have artificial left ankle still healing with limited range of motion.

Any company willing to make different size boot left/right? If not, a lace to toe could lock in my smaller right foot better than normal laced boot.

And a side zipper would make it easier to get my limited range of motion left foot in and out. 6" to 7" boot preferred, and leather (but lighter) boot preferred.

Boots help protect my ankle more than shoes.

Mismatched size, Left 9W Russell (9.5 Brannock). 
Right 10W Russell (10.5 Brannock)

Left boot has never been worn nor laced and is new in box. Right boot was worn around 30 hours total and approx 5 miles.

Both boots are: Sole Selected: Vibram 2060, Quarter Color Selected: Olive Twill, Leather Selected: Cognac Bison.  

I received the 10E March 23, 2026, 9E Apr 6, 2026.  I then had ankle surgery the same day, April 6. 

I wanted perfect fit and am keeping the opposite mismatch.  

Build price on each pair was $840. Joe's PH is currently not available from Russell Boots. 

Left boot new, right boot perfect and very slightly used condition. 

Will ship from Benson AZ. $600 On eBay with photos: Russell Moccasin Joe's PH, Bison, mismatched size (L9E, R 10E) | eBay

SOLD

I bought these 27 days ago new in box never worn for $650 plus shipping. They arrived the day after I had a left ankle total replacement. Here is where I bought them: Russell Zephyr II Horween Leather Boot – Broomsedge Pro Shop .

These are 9.5E Russell size, best fit will be someone with both feet 10.2 to 10.5 on a Brannnock measuring device.

My left foot is 10.2 on brannock, right 9.2 on brannock. I have only been able to try the right boot due to surgery on left. Right is loose and sloppy on me and will not work.

I will let them go for $500 and I'll pay shipping to lower 48 US states.
