      …@tvenuto when did you order your boots? Ordered mine on March 4th and I'm still waiting.

      ...I WANT MY BOOTS! 😢 😢 😢 😃 😉

      Yea, mine were ordered mid-march as well.  They already had the custom last on file with mine if that makes any difference.  It was tough to wait but realistically I wouldn't have worn them all that much in hot weather.

      It's worth remembering that any production business has options to deal with internal or external issues.  They could have hired new help and let them work on customer boots faster than normal, or even outsourced certain processes and just done finishing work in-house.  They focused on the highest margin orders, which may have resulted in pausing the MTO program.  I appreciate that they've decided to just hold to their business and quality, and let the lead times do what they need to do.

        Been wearing my Mr. Lous during my bathroom remodel. Figured a few weeks of mortar splatter and they deserved some TLC

                      …some times that's just the way things go. 😞 They feel like a 1/2 size or so too big. Bummed out. I guess if I wore super thick socks it might help a tad bit...anyone ever successfully get a pair of boots to shrink? Like soak 'em thoroughly and dry 'em out in the sun or something? 😢

                      ...really heavy duty boots and great craftsmanship...f#*k!

                        Oh damn…
                        Are they too long or too wide? If they are long you can try inserts, that’s what I do for my left foot since it’s quite a bit shorter than my right foot and it works pretty well.
                        You think you messed up the measurements?
                        Other than that, they look great!

                        I’m already planning another pair, waiting for Chris to get back to me.

                          I would definitely reach out to Chris at Wesco,and ask his advice. He might be able to recommend an insole that could help to remedy the problem. Are they just slipping in the heel,because that will go away as they break in. Fucking killer boots!

                            …great idea you guy's!!! I didn't think of insoles!! That might be the answer!!

                            ...I hate being 'that guy' but I may send Chris an email just for some advice. Insoles and a little shrinkage may fix me right up!!

                            ...keeping hope alive!! 🙂

                              …@Dmart the issue is with the length. They are wide too but I usually go for an E or EE ( I was gifted with my mothers bunyons  😃 ).

                              ...you know what they say about big feet and big hands?...big boots and big gloves!!! 😃 😃

                                Chris can re-last them. No probs….

                                    I’ve worn my Wescos on the bike in all kinds of rain,and never had the slightest bit of shrinkage after they had dried. I can’t imagine Chris thinking  that’s the way to go. I also can’t imagine him not doing whatever it took to make you happy.

                                          Chris is the best!!. I msg him every now and then to talk about makeups etc. he write back on Instagram pretty freaking fast too.

                                          Sweet microtech too! I’ve never actually seen the knife boot in real life just on the makeup page. Fits perfect 🙂

                                            …@Jett129 two things after seeing the boots, #1 I can really see the 'Durango Harness boot' look in the body of the boot where as if I would of went with the 'Engineer Boss boot' body and added the harness it would look more like an engineer boot. Cowboy boot vs Engineer boot I guess. #2 Had I went the engineer route with the rear strap pull instead of the side pulls, the knife pocket would of looked cleaner with no obstructions. Not a big deal, no one see's it, just a thought on aesthetics. 🙂
