I ended up going with
http://www.shoebuy.com/merrell-spire-peak-waterproof/159063 in 8.5M in the end. Zappos' boots were all way, way too big in the calf. And sadly even these are too big, but not sufficiently loose to be a problem like the others were.
They actually look a lot nicer in person than in the picture. They're nice and narrow, but not really pointy toed. At work most people thought they were just nice leather shoes because my guy pants are too long in the leg. Gotten several compliments by people at school/work on them. And they don't click-clack all over the place when I walk like several other pairs did.
However... it took them 8 days to clear the charge on my debit card. Careful if you order something from shoebuy.
Sears has the worst selection of shoes! >

Terribly overpriced. Leather jackets, on the other hand, sears has some decent deals. There was a
90% off sale on one style of jacket on the website a few weeks ago, but I found out after it ended.
