WESCO-MRLOU-BLK - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Pull-On "Mister Lou" Engineer Boot - Black

[Baba-san]

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.

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.

[Jimothy]

Sorry @Chesson, in the brown misterlou thread you mentioned a chromexcel version – didn't realize it only applied to the brown misterlou. So will the black continue to be provided in horsehide even though no restocks are indicated? And I guess my question still stands, will the brown version be available online anytime soon?

[Giles]

Not sure what you mean by no restocks are indicated.

There is the ability to request an email alert on the product page, and it is marked as continuous production.

Something we've got wrong, or I'm missing something?
