WESCO-MRLOU-BLK - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Pull-On "Mister Lou" Engineer Boot - Black
-
I've seen a couple, that will eventually be some great patina. The brown will show through in areas all over the boots after a good amount of time. IMHO, I would definitely condition that spot, if not both boots entirely. Mine came super thirsty, but I wore them for a few weeks before conditioning with Saphir renovateur.

Does anyone out there have a photo(s) of a super broken in pair? Are does the black wear away to reveal brown underneath?

@Ghost-Cut Those are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
-
They look great

I've been eyeing some of these boots, but I don't have any experience with Wesco. I have some Redwing 875 and like the wider fit in those. Does anyone have any input how these compare, last wise? Think I would want to stock with the same size?
Wish I could try some on! -
The best socks for Mr. Lou from UES / Japan. Transforms a engineer boot into a badass slipper.

Wish I could try some on!@Crease I'm a 9D in in the 875s and 8.5D in Iron Rangers. I went with an 8.5D on the Mister Lou's and fit me perfectly. I find the 875s roomy in the toe box. If you like the width of the 875s then I would recommend an E width on the Wescos.

Thank you so much @teddyjay ! That is really helpful. I've been taking some measurements of my feet also and I thinking the 9E looks like the right one for me. Thanks!

Howdy folks,
Do these boots need to be treated with any sort of leather conditioner or other? Mine are nice and broken in and I have been wearing them for about four months 4/5 days a week. Is it a personal preference to choose to condition or is it an inevitable necessity to prolong the age of the boots? If the latter, what brand would y'all recommend?
