Good point, thanks for the reply. It's nervewrecking ordering 700 euro boots without trying them but these seem worthy of the risk

Great looking boots @Appfaff 

[injunjack]

are these same as other Wescos width wise? My Wesco Boss with bump toe are 9D and they're fine but I've noticed in some boots I have , that my right foot has been getting wider, due aging of me, i guess.

So should I take D or E?

And any idea of restock?

[Appfaff]

Since these are on the MP last, they are definitely slimmer, especially in the toe box. If you are a D in the boss last, I think going to an E in this one is probably a smart choice.

[injunjack]

Thanks

E it is then, as soon they're restocked

Hey @injunjack going up a width in the Mister Lou isn't always the answer, it really depends on how snug the D with is on you in the Boss, yes @Appfaff is right, they are slimmer but only marginally. A lot of the advice I have been giving to people is based around sticking with the same width they take in the standard boss boot. If a standard boss in a D width is relatively snug on them they considering an E with is an option. If a D in the boss is fitting perfect and not tight I would advise sticking with the D width.

What colour where you looking for in the Mister Lou? I can see whats available.

[injunjack]

I'm looking for 9D or E.  Black.

My usual size is 9d which my wescos are, (except my chippewa 1901M48 which are 9E, perfect fit nowadays. I know they don't compare directlyas mu other chippewas are 9D).

I ready to take 9E's as, as I said earlier, my right foot is wider nowadays.  How much difference there is in D and E widthwise?

Hey

Just sharing my recent experience. Hope it helps a bit.I am 8.5 D in Redwing IR and ordered a pair or Mr Lou in 8.5 D. They were really snug, I wear them inside with a thin plastic bag instead of socks. My feet were almost dumb after a few minutes of wearing them. I retuned them and took a 8.5 E instead. That is much better…I am in the process of breaking in.

This having been said. I believe I could have managed to breack in the 8.5 D but with much unncesary pain.

[injunjack]

Good info, thanks.

I don't need painful breaking in. Too snug is too snug.

I'm firm believer of buying right sized jeans and boots.

[Jimothy]

Standard and strange has this boots with the same last but only size E with the rule “select a half size down from brannock”. Do you guys agree with that rule? If I’m a 10D on a brannock what size would you recommend for optimal fit?

[Clint_D]

I'd recommend going with your true Brannock size.

[injunjack]

Any idea about the restock of E width?  ???

[Chesson]

@injunjack Shouldn't be too far in the not so distant future. What size were you looking for in an E width? I can see if what Wesco have available at the moment.

[injunjack]

@Chesson

9E is what I'm looking for

[Chesson]

@injunjack Ill get back to you when they wake up on the West coast.

[Jimothy]

@Chesson  When will the new boots be available for purchase online?

[Chesson]

Hi @Jimothy are you referring to the chromexcel (cow hide) version of these boots?

[Jimothy]

Yes

[Chesson]

@Jimothy We haven't put a production order in yet as we are going to continue to run with the Horsehide option for the foreseeable future.
