      Great looking bike boots @Dmart ! They are making me regret getting mine in black… 😃 😃

      The journey is the objective.

        Thanks @motojobobo they are indeed. I would say it was a mistake returning them  😃

          Picked these up direct from Wesco in early 2021 and have worn them pretty often ever since. I brush them regularly and condition every couple months with some blackrock. They were stiff as hell at first… almost like wooden shoes haha.. but after a year I can say they are like slippers finally. .

            @Paul9221 did you ever get your Mr. Lous in the Natural CXL? I’ve been drooling over those lately and wondering what you think of your so far?

            In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

              Hey @Dmart those Mr. Lou’s in natural cxl are so sick. I’ve never had a pair of engineers before but am really diggin these!! What do you think of that leather? Seems like the evo would be really cool to watch develop.

                They are great @Mizmazzle . The leather is getting only better with wear. They became soft and molded around my foot. The leather gets darker over the time and picks up indigo. If you have specific questions, let me know.

                  Hey folks. Here on a recomendation from the great @Oaktavia.

                  I noticed the other day during a clean that my left boot was missing all the nails at the far lip of the sole. Is this like an imminent failure issue that I should address (and how?) immediately or more meh?

                  Cheers,
                  GTP

                    No, the glue on it's own is mostly enough to keep the sole attached. The stitching helps and nails too but I would not be worried if the nails are missing (imo).

                      Hi @GTPowers This is not something I have ever seen before. This will be something @Chris at Wesco is best placed to answer. If we don't hear back from him here, I'll give him a call later on today and get his insight.

                          Any idea if these randomly get restocked on the site??

                            If you’re talking about Iron Heart’s site, re-stocking May be seemingly random, but they will always post in this thread when it’s done. You can also sign up for email notification from the item page

                                We will not be restocking this exact boot but a brown Mister Lou will be back in stock. We are going to be running brown veg-tanned horsehide instead of brown CXL. We are hoping that they will be ready in about 5-6 months time. Will we update here when we know a more accurate time frame.

                                    Would love to try a pair of these IRL, quite imporant to know the fit on foot. I have quite demanding feets with high arches

                                      I was pleased with the results of my horsehide pair of these that I will now follow suit with these. Here are before photos. I have had this pair for just shy of three years.

                                          @Oaktavia Those look pretty good and only need another treatment. Your black ones look much better, but still need at least another treatment and probably two. It's just my opinion though.
