          I have a pair of White's boots that are mismatched (left foot F width, right foot FF width). Even though they are probably the widest width you can get, my right pinky toe seems to always rub/touch the side of the boots in the front section. I've had different boots/shoes as well that do the same thing…

          Any idea why this happens and how to fix it?

            Surgery to remove the toe? @Giles knows a guy. I jest… I have no idea. Are you sure the boots are long enough? Boots taper towards the toe so a bigger size may give you the room you need for your toe at a wider section of the boot.

              Yeah, I should have the right size actually. I've been recommended it by Baker's in the USA after sending in the hard copies of my foot tracings.

                  Get some fabric and sew it on the reverse of the hole, it just needs to be large enough to breach the gap.  Then sew the belt loop back on.

                      @den1mhead you could try Felix Jouanneau. He's a London bootmaker who used to do rebuilds, I don't know if he still does. His last Instagram post said that he'd stopped due to Covid.

                          Let us know how you get on with the above recommendation Barcley @den1mhead, as I've got a pair of RW's that need sorting.

                                Just wondering: if you tell UPS to leave a package at reception (so no signature is required), do they still notify you when it's delivered?..

                                  In my experience with UPS in Germany, as long as your signed up with your email for delivery notifications, then yes.
