I used the Arkel grocery pannier quite a bit and I really liked it. It meets most of your criteria but has a zip top and not a buckle top. The new version looks to have a draw cord top which would make sliding a paper bag full of groceries in more difficult maybe? Their hardware is adjustable so

Instead of the Tubus Fly rack, you can use a Tubus Logo rack which have rails offset and lower which will clear your size 10. For the bag suggestion above, you can replace the hook and bungee system with the Ortlieb system you are familiar with. Ortlieb sells their attachment system under "sp
