    I was just worried that the leather will take on a memory…..

      Got a sizing question.  Wanted to essentially remake these tan boots https://divisionroadinc.com/blogs/bulletin/domain-jobmaster-restock.  Talked to Kyle from Bakers and he said it would have to be on the 65 last, and go up a half size from what I normally wear.  I usually wear 8EE in Red Wing, Whites (Semi dress/smoke jumper, normal heel).  I had a pair of Boss in 8EE and REALLY killed my feet until I took out the half slip.  I just wanted to make sure that 8.5EE made sense before I bought and I trust yall

        JK my latest purchase of a pair of super black IH slim jeans at SE has changed the game.  I may have to contact the bootery in re the black creepy joe pair. . .

        What Size would you all recommend? 8EE?

                It will be the size. In a 33 waist no chance…. 😢

                    Getting a bit of conflicting sizing info on mister Lou sizing.

                    Consensus here is to go with iron ranger red wing size but on other venues they recommend going with CT 70 or regular sneakers like Nike. I'm also reading a few people in posts here who are the same size in all of these shoes which is even more confusing to me.

                    If the following fit ok, which size and width would everyone recommend?

                    Nicks smokejumper, 55 last, 9C
                    Nicks Robert, 67 last, 9.5C
                    Chuck Taylor 70s, 9.5, snug but comfy fit
                    Most Nikes, 10
                    Vans, 10
                    Adidas running shoes, 10.5

                    I've tried on red wing iron rangers too, and while they don't work for my feet (mostly heel and ankle related issues), I'd definitely be a 9D for length and width. Also worth noting, I recently tried on a pair of Nicks HNW last officer boots in 9.5C that were both too long and wide.

                    Thanks for any advice

                      Sizing is always tricky. What’s your brannock size? I’m a 10D brannock and a 9.5E in the Mr Lou.

                        It's been a while since I've put my foot on one to be honest. My right is about a half size smaller than my left which is about 280mm in the socks I normally wear. Clearly I should step on one again.

                          Hey @pechelman,
                          Here’s my experience sizing wesco and my size in other brands. Perhaps you already came across this thread but if not, there’s some other good info a few posts below mine. Here’s the link…

                            Mine is about 275mm and the 9.5 is good. Vans I’m a 10 as well.

                                  Better be careful walking by any pimps, they might think you're infringing on their turf 😃

                                          Hopped on a brannock this weekend. Left foot is an 11B/C and right foot is a 10.5B/C (both are right on the width line, and a little harder to read, and would depend on socks). Also tried on a pair of Whites MP Shermans and was definitely properly sized in a 9D in the forefoot and overall length but the heel wouldnt have worked for me being too wide and having a heel cup that is not at all close to working. Also the celastic? in the toe cap was already causing pain after just a few minutes as it would cause the leather dig into my toe joint when walking.

                                          Found a pair of Wesco 7500's to try in in 9.5D that I can try on for sizing, then return and use toward a deposit on the mister lou's. Should have those beginning of August and can report back for a point of reference for anyone who might find useful.
