For those with 1+ size longer heel to arch vs heel to ball, how did you end up sizing for med/high arch lasts (ie 55)?

I'm a 10.5 heel-to-toe but ~12 heel-to-arch when measuring on brannock. Trying White's 55, a 10D feels like the arch is too far back towards my heel. 11D arch feels much more comfy, but the front of the boot is very roomy. Wouldn't say there's excessive slip during a basic try-on, but worried how it might feel if the boot loosens up at all. The flex point (circled in photo) also seems a little far back.

I've been considering trying a 10.5, but am on the fence regarding how the arch will feel. Given I probably have to custom order the exact size (10.5E), I'm hesitant to commit. Would be disappointing to wait a couple months only to find I preferred the arch on the 11D.

Love the leather and design of both. The grey-green color is awesome and very distinctive. Waxy commander of course feels great - quite thick and rugged, but very soft.

Been trying to decide between 10D (cutters) and 11D (cruisers). I've got an extremely flat foot with effectively no natural arch. Measures ~10.5 heel-to-toe and ~12 heel to ball on Brannock, at around a D width. I've generally worn 11-12E/EE in athletic shoes and hiking boots. Always found some additional width to be more comfortable.

• 10D is a little snug in the side of the toebox and in the instep. 11D is very roomy in the toe and comfortable in the instep.
• Worried that the 11D is a little loose in the heel, but I haven't noticed significant slip with a basic try-on.
• Arch is much more comfortable in the 11D vs the 10D. 10D feels almost like it's too far back towards the heel, plus like I'm standing on the 'edge' of the arch on the inner side of the boot. 11D arch disappears underfoot pretty quickly.
• Ball joint in the 11D feels a little far back, but I think it's barely in the 'flex zone' for the boot.

Leaning towards the 11D cruisers, but would appreciate any thoughts on the fit/if I'm missing anything with how to adjust the fit of the 10D cutters.
