Some conditioning for my Mr. Lou CXL Steerhide and Maryam Horsehide

[Daniel San]

and? what do you think about the saphir care ?

[Oaktavia]

@Daniel:

and?

Lol it's wonderful and really brings out the supple qualities of each type of leather. It seemed the CXL was more thirsty and visibly changed more compared to the black. The black seemed to matte initially but settled down quickly.  Pretty easy to apply with a micro fiber cloth compared to a more greasy mink oil I've used with my RWs. Definitely will continue to use.

Glad you are happy. I love it as well. My Lofgrens are due for some conditioning as well.

[Daniel San]

I use my fingers to apply work great

Thanks gents. I really love them, such a great pair of boots.

Having used Saphir myself on both Horsehide(Horween) and Chromexcel leather Boss, I feel there’s probably a better leather conditioner out there for the leather IMO.  I’m deciding between either using Collonil or Tapir for my black Chromexcel boss boot.  Not a fan of the water spots that Saphir produces when the leather gets wet.

As for the boot jack, I personally love mine and get a kick out of it when I whip it out during security line at the airport to take my boots off.  People have that “wtf” look when I use mine lol.

Just gave them a condition and clean.  This Collonil 1909 stuff is amazing! The Chromexcel leather really ate it up.  The Bick5 is for inside cleaning of the boot. Collonil goat hair brush.

[Dmart]

sorry meant to say baker
edited to make more sense

[Dmart]

They may. Other retailers like IH can assist you there as well. Or as mentioned you go directly through Wesco. In terms of timing it doesn’t make a difference. The wait is long…

How does the Mr Lou sizing run? I dont have any wesco boots but I wear a 9.5D in my red wing 1178 boots.

@Desperado213 I'd generally say that MrLou sizing runs pretty similar to Red Wing, so I'd say sticking to a 9.5D (assuming that's in US sizing) would likely be a safe bet

Feel free to hit me up with a DM if you need any more specifics

Thanks Ross, that's helpful!

Mr. Lou runs narrow, I would consider E width. I am a brannock 10D but wear a 9.5E in all non custom Lou‘s.
