                      Looking for some Wesco Mr. Lou sizing help. I have 4 different styles of Viberg boots. Everything from westerns, ropers, service boots, and CSA work boots. They are all size 11.5 but have various widths based on the last. From everything I’ve read on this forum I should go with a size 12 Mr. Lou but I’m not sure on width. Maybe the same width as my Viberg western boots because the style is similar? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

                        Yeah half up would work. At least worked for me. The width of the MRLOU is D but generous. Maybe you will miss some volume compared to the Boss. I have Vibergs 2030 last in 9E and a 9.5D in MRLOU’s.

                              @deanclean - I wear an 8.5 in the Viberg 2020, 2030, & 2050 and measure on the Brannock a 9.5D .  I have two pairs of Mr Lou’s on the Motor Patrol 1339 last - both in size 9E - and they fit very well in both length and width.  Standard & Strange sell the Mr Lou’s and there website specifically states that the MP1339 last that these are built on runs narrow, so the E width wears like a D and to take one-half size smaller than your Brannock size.  I found this to be true - but I never tried a 9D or 9.5D to compare since the 9E fit well.  John

                              No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

                                Thanks [mention]John Galt [/mention] At least I’ve figured out I need a size 12. I’ll have to check the width of all my Vibergs and try to figure out what Mr Lou width would be best. Appreciate the input.

                                        10-11 months.  But for 100% accurate answer ask Chris at wesco….

                                            I dug a little deeper into my Viberg lasts and sizing. They are all size 11.5.
                                            Last 2005 which is an EE
                                            Last 1040 which is an E
                                            Last 2040 is an E but I read it’s more like a D.
                                            My 2040s fit the best I think so I’m thinking I should be looking at a size 12D in a Mr. Lou  thanks again everyone for the help.
