          Awesome, snagged a pair of the Maryam! Wesco advised 10.5E yesterday, so fingers crossed! Interesting to see Horween offered too, is there much of a difference? Didn't look like my size was available. Are either a teacore? Thanks boys!

            @nrtphotos only difference between the two (other than the name of the tannery) is that the Maryams are veg tanned where the Horween is chrome tanned. The Maryam is a little more textured and stiffer - The Horween a little softer and smoother

              @Ross I'm all set with my Mr. Lou's, so not asking for me, but I'm noticing that the heel stays in the pictures are different between the two versions. Chris told me he was switching all new production Mr. Lou's to look like the Horween photos that have it stitched down without a pull loop.

              My intention is to clarify this so it doesnt surprise anyone in either way.

                  @Ross No restock in size 7.5 E? Or are they already sold out? I‘ve been looking forward to this day for almost a year, please tell me that I didn‘t miss the restock in my size…😅🤞

                    @Ross hello sir, for the humble horsehide novice, what would be the considerations to take into account when trying to make a choice between the two types on offer here? Not sure I’ll be able to make this drop, but good to know for future reference.

                    6'4". Wingspan of Phelps.

                      @AtariHunter no 7s or 7.5s on this restock I'm afraid

                      @long_john86 there's not too much physical difference between them. The real difference is in the tanning process with Maryam using veg tanning and horween using Chrome tanning.

                      The veg tan feels a little rougher and tougher to the hand where the horween is a little smoother and softer.

                      For me I'd say there is no X is better than Y with these, it's just going to come down to your preference but there are no 'wrong choices' here

                        I own the Mr Lou in Maryam and the 100 anniversary in Horween, as Ross said the Maryam vegetable tanned leather is initially shinier and smoother and harder to the touch, its Teacore is much tougher and less noticeable in the early stages. Horween leather is immediately very soft and "greasy" to the touch, after a short while. the first tea leaves can be glimpsed in the points of greatest wear. They are very different but equally beautiful, I honestly couldn't choose, sometimes I prefer one more than the other and vice versa.

                          sorry for the terrible photos, but I'm in bed with Covid and they are the only ones I could find. The former are Mr Lou in Hirsehide Maryam used occasionally for a year, the latter are Wesco 100 Anniversario in horse Horween CXL.

                                That's a real shame... Are there already plans for when the boots will be available again in size 7.5 E? I was in contact with you guys and with the guys at Wesco in March 2023 regarding the restocking of the Mr Lous and got advice on sizing.

                                Unfortunately, nobody mentioned at the time that there would not be a restock in size 7.5. Do you have any idea how I could get a pair as soon as possible?

                                  Oh my God, I missed the drop. Any idea when then restock again? Thanks.

                                    If I wear a 9.5 in the jobmaster will the fit be the same in the Mr. Lous?

                                      Hoping to pick up my first pair of Wesco Engineers soon (if they don't sell out) I am having trouble with the size though.

                                      I am a 9.5D in all Red Wings (Iron Rangers, Moc etc)
                                      10 in Converse Chuck 70
                                      10.5 in Nike/Hoka/Adidas/Salomon/Vans.

                                      Can anyone steer me into what size I might be in this Horween Mr. Lou?

                                        @AtariHunter We could look at placing a custom order through for you for a 7.5E but lead times are currently pretty lengthy.. shoot me a DM or email if this would interest you so we discuss further

                                        @Batman no restock on the horizon at the moment, I'm sure we'll get them back but couldn't even guess when currently

                                        @Robert more than likely yes, they are a little less roomy in the toe than a Jobmaster due to the MP last, so that's worth bearing in mind

                                        @setyoustraight I do usually advise people to go with the same that they go with in Redwing and your sneaker sizing kinda falls in line with that, so a 9.5D should be good

                                          @setyoustraight any chance you got yourself brannock measured?

                                          I do these wescos in 0.5 length less than brannock and one width up, so I'm 11D and 10.5E fit me perfectly.

                                          I also have a pair in 11D but they're noticeably too big, I had to add another insole and they somehow work but not great
                                          I also tried 9.5E and they were way too small
