WESCO-MRLOU-PUR - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide "Mister Lou" - "The Purpetrator"
-
@Chesson / IH Team - Will these be sized as past Mr. Lou’s or based on the new revised sizing Wesco was going to roll out at some point? If the new sizing, I’m assuming there will be recommended sizing conversion guidance from old to new sizing. For example, a previous 9E now corresponds to ?? In the new sizing. Thanks! John

Re: New sizing. Have spoken to the crew, it is news to all of us, and if Wesco have told us, we've forgotten We were with @Chris at Wesco last weekend and he mentioned nothing (but then we were doing our best to enjoy ourselves). @Chesson will speak to Chris later today…..

@Chesson - The latest boot drop at The Shop Vancouver for their Wesco Boots X The Shop "Vintage Dream" Morrison Boot preorder has this posted in the ordering notes : “ Wesco is currently changing the last used for the Mr Lou boot, current Mr Lou lasts fit narrower than a standard boss last. For production our Mr Lou will use the new last which is more true to size width wise.” Sounds like a previous E width is now a D width, but wanted to be sure that didn’t also then require to size up a 1/2 size for length. Thanks for whatever information you can provide prior to the preorder. John

@John Galt ill speak with Wesco later today and get clarification on this. The Shop may be using a different last to standard on their Vintage Dream, or it may be the case that it’s all changing. I’ll update here as soon as I know the score.

@Chesson - I think it goes without saying that the old or existing last sizing is preferred if given the option for most of us who have Mr Lou’s and know their sizing. There’s always that uneasy feeling in preordering a boot when haven’t worn the given size previously. Hoping to not have to change it up for this one. Thanks! John

The last is not changing, so go with your usual size.

@John Galt - The Vintage Dream is a different fit to a standard Mister Lou, the reason for this is that build has a lower heel and toe profile, which was needed to emulate that 3GKnuk look that they are they were after. The Shop Vancouver has now updated their product page as the info was a little confusing. There are no plans at all to change the fit of the Mister Lou, Wesco went through a lot of prototyping to get that boot right and eliminate the heel slip that you get with a standard Boss/Engineer boot. It's now one of theirs and our most popular models.

Wesco sizing is still perplexing. Now, I hear they are changing their "last" sizing, pray tell?

@Chesson responded to a sizing/last question that is very similar to your question. Does this help?

These are great, I need a pair. Really though, shouldn’t there be a purple jacket, so we can match?
