    @Dmart:

    Why not ordering from Wesco the original?

      They may. Other retailers like IH can assist you there as well. Or as mentioned you go directly through Wesco. In terms of timing it doesn’t make a difference. The wait is long…

        How does the Mr Lou sizing run? I dont have any wesco boots but I wear a 9.5D in my red wing 1178 boots.

          @Desperado213 I'd generally say that MrLou sizing runs pretty similar to Red Wing, so I'd say sticking to a 9.5D (assuming that's in US sizing) would likely be a safe bet

          Feel free to hit me up with a DM if you need any more specifics 😉

              Mr. Lou runs narrow, I would consider E width. I am a brannock 10D but wear a 9.5E in all non custom Lou‘s.

                      Since I posted a while back asking for sizing help thought I'd follow up. Shoe and boot sizing for me is all over the place since I have narrow feet with even narrower heels. Most dress shoes fit well in 9D, I'm generally 10 in Nike and vans, and 10.5 in Adidas. I've had a couple pair of nicks since 2014ish, a smoke jumper style boot in their 55 last size 9C and a custom build set of Roberts in the 67 last in 9.5C. For my feet these fit pretty identical. My brannock is a 10.5C'ish as my left and right feet are different.

                      Last year I got to try on a set of Wesco 7500s size 9.5D in the full sole in English tan but they were too long and kinda snug in the toes due to the low height of their celastic? toe cap. After a bit of debate and taking to Chris I put an order in for a set of mister lous in 9D. Was a little worried they'd be too wide and crush down on my toes more. Well right on time, Wesco reached out letting me know the boots were done, 6mo after ordering. Got them today and pretty stoked. The length in spot on and the width is pretty close. Too snug with the insole and a little loose without, so I'm taking that to mean nearly perfect. The toe volume is identical as before, so a little snug but I think it will relax a bit with wear. Fit and finish is definitely above my nicks but still on the work-end with a few things here and there that aren't finished perfectly. I don't mind that at all.

                      Anyway, like I said, pretty excited as finding boots that fit has been a huge challenge.

                        Glad that the sizing works for you. Great boot!

                              Thanks, guys!

                              Pretty excited about these. Also I noticed something unusual on my pair with completely stitched down heel stays and confirmed with Chris this morning that the new Mr. Lou's wont have pull loops anymore. He also noted future batches will be switching to horween horsehide instead of the maryam.

                                Saw a cool pair of black roughout boss engineers on a wedge sole at Jinji Paris today last pair in a size 10 and they offered a pretty good discount if anyone’s interested.

                                  I’m waiting on a pair of Mr. Lou’s. You mean to tell me they won’t have the loops on the back to help pull them on like my other engineer boots? If so, I have a major issue with that!

                                    @Palmer, I'd reach out to Chris and see what he can do. Turns out he received a lot of customer complaints or something similar regarding the loop and reverted back to the original 1950s design that never had them. Honestly I don't really miss them. Just surprised me.
