WESCO-MRLOU-BLK - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Pull-On "Mister Lou" Engineer Boot - Black

@pechelman

Thanks a lot for the infos! That matches with what I've read so far.

My Iron Rangers are a size 7.5 D. Since I have rather wide feet and my Iron Rangers were very tight during the first two weeks (they now fit like a glove), I think that size 7.5 E should be the right choice for the Mr. Lou’s, because the cut is supposed to be rather narrow. What do you guys think?

[pechelman]

The 9.0D wesco definitely fit narrower for me than the 9.0D Iron Ranger. Not a ton but noticable. They're also a bit lower volume which I think has more of an impact to width sensitive people. Sounds like you should go E on wesco, but Chris at wesco or the folks here and guys at the IH shop might have different advice.

@pechelman

That‘s helpful, thanks a lot! I‘ll drop an e-mail at the IH-crew and the guys at Wesco and hope that there will soon be a restock.

Thanks again man, I really appreciate your advice!

I’m a 9.5D by the Brannock, a D width in most shoes, and have two pair of Mr. Lou’s in 9E that are a perfect fit and one pair of Wesco Boss in 9D that are still slightly tight after extensive break in. Would probably also go with a 9E in the Boss if ordering again.

Same here, 10D brannock and 9.5E in Lou’s if I don’t have them customized. My IR are a 9 if I am not mistaken but the IR just doesn’t fit my feet (too narrow and too long).

[AtariHunter]

Thank you very much @John-Galt and @Dmart ! I have to check my Brannock size (provided that I can find a device here in Switzerland) but it seems like a 7.5E is the way to go for me.

[Dmart]

@AtariHunter where are you in Switzerland? I live in Lucerne. I measured my brannock with an online print form but had it confirmed at a shop.

What a coincidence! I live in Bern (lucky me, there is a shop – called Feinfracht – with IH products, or should I rather say „poor me!“?). Good point, I will look for an online print, thanks for the hint!

[Dmart]

I’m shopping at Feinfracht regularly. Great shop!

Feinfracht is great! Hoping on a restock on these wesco’s

@Heavy_blue ..They're in production...

[A Former User]

@Ross thanks man!

[Crispy Heron]

Can’t wait until these come back into stock.

[John Galt]

@Ross Any other flavors of the Mr. Lou horsehides (I.e. brown, natural, etc) forthcoming or only the black? Thanks! John

[Ross]

@John-Galt ...few other flavours in the oven as well...

Although please don't ask me for an ETA yet! we're a little too early in the game for that - as soon as I have anything concrete I'll make sure all the relevant forum pages are updated with whatever info I've got

[John Galt]

BTW - Anyone trying to decide between a D and E width in these - the Brannock chart indicates the difference to be 3/16”. Not sure how this plays out with the Lou’s, but my experience with the couple pair I have is that they run a little narrow to begin with.

[John Galt]

@Ross Excellent to hear - looking forward to seeing what you’ve got cooking when the time comes - thanks!

[AtariHunter]

@Ross

Great news, thanks for the update!

Feinfracht is great!

It is indeed!

[Crispy Heron]

I feel almost embarrassed for asking this but…

I am a 555 man. Like a narrow hem. I assume that a 555 would allow for the Mister Lou’s to be taken on and off?
