              Hey everyone, new member here. I was wondering if someone can comment on the heel slip in this model? I own a pair of red wing 2268 engineer boots in 7, which is my usual size in iron rangers too. The overall fit is good, but the heel slip is extreme and keeps me from wearing then more often. Also they're very roomy around the calf. The description of the Mr. Lou's sounds like they are the exact opposite. I'm just wondering if the red wings just don't fit me good or I might just not be an engineer boot guy at all.

                Heel slip is always there with engineer boots. some more, some less. You just need to live with it.
                Just my 2 cents worth

                  Welcome. I’d agree with the above that some heel slip is totally normal. In my opinion, a lot of bullshit is talked about heel slip, like it’s a problem, it’s actually a feature. That being said, Mr. Lou’s are designed in a way that heel slip is minimised.

                    If the heel slips to the extent that you cramp your toes and literally carry the boot, then it’s too much, but as the others stated, there is always a biting heelslip in engineers. The Mr Lou are certainly narrower in the shaft than the Red Wings.
                    They are grat boots, you will like them.

                      For sure. If that happens then they’re the wrong size.

                        @slubbyphil I have a pair of 8' Wesco Boss boots, which has a little bit of heel slip.  After breaking in the boots, the heel slip became minimal.  I also have a pair of Mister Lou's, and the heel slip on those is almost unnoticeable.

                          Thanks for your input guys! Luckily its not like I have to cramp up my toes in the red wings, its more like an irritating feeling that they dont fit properly, which could be the case of course. Think I'll give the Mr. Lou's a shot once the next paycheck hits.

                            Ok guys, they have these last 11.5 EEm which I believe means narrow. I generally wear a 12 in most known boosts, and I do own one pair of narrow 13 red wings. the question here’s is could I fit into these wider mr lous with my normal feet. I wouldn’t say they are long by any means or super wide. But could they possible work. I know this is kinda dumb and that I should just try them on. Maybe ill look for a pair around me. But anyone with Wes of experience will I be able to pull off a wide 11 if I wear a 12?
                            Thanks. They are just on sale in the outlet!

                              EE is very wide and I assume the "m" is a typo…....

                                Is there a general restock scheduled for these, and if so a rough idea of when that might be would be great 🙂
