WESCO-MRLOU-BLK - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Pull-On "Mister Lou" Engineer Boot - Black
-
@pechelman I had issues with my pair but in a different area. My issue was the instep area underneath the lower buckle. It pressed into the top of my foot and it was especially noticeable when sitting down/resting. There was a few week long window when I was unsure the boots would work. I kept with 'em though and eventually the issue went away. I know this might not help you but what I can say is even when I thought the leather wouldn't mold anymore to my feet, somehow they did. I wear them more often than not now.
The Maryam horsehide is super strong and I found it eventually gives in. Hope yours does (I think it will) too. I still haven't put my insoles. Back into either of my CXL or Maryam Lous and have had each for over a year/just under a year.

What size did you guys choose compared to Iron Rangers? I would love to grab a pair as soon as they‘re back in stock but I‘m a bit afraid to end up with the wrong size…
-
for me they fit similarly for the same size. The wesco definitely has less toe volume in its height.
the rw ir's dont work for my feet, a little too wide and a heel/Achilles area that hits in all the wrong places, but if it did work, my closest good fit in that would be a 9D and got a 9D in the mister lou after trying a 9.5D which had my heel much too loose coming out of the heel pocket entirely / 1 finger of space behind and swimming in the width.fwiw, I'm a 9C in nicks 55 last.

Thanks a lot for the infos! That matches with what I've read so far.
My Iron Rangers are a size 7.5 D. Since I have rather wide feet and my Iron Rangers were very tight during the first two weeks (they now fit like a glove), I think that size 7.5 E should be the right choice for the Mr. Lou’s, because the cut is supposed to be rather narrow. What do you guys think?
-
The 9.0D wesco definitely fit narrower for me than the 9.0D Iron Ranger. Not a ton but noticable. They're also a bit lower volume which I think has more of an impact to width sensitive people. Sounds like you should go E on wesco, but Chris at wesco or the folks here and guys at the IH shop might have different advice.
-
That‘s helpful, thanks a lot! I‘ll drop an e-mail at the IH-crew and the guys at Wesco and hope that there will soon be a restock.
Thanks again man, I really appreciate your advice!
-
Thank you very much @John-Galt and @Dmart ! I have to check my Brannock size (provided that I can find a device here in Switzerland) but it seems like a 7.5E is the way to go for me.

@AtariHunter where are you in Switzerland? I live in Lucerne. I measured my brannock with an online print form but had it confirmed at a shop.

What a coincidence! I live in Bern (lucky me, there is a shop – called Feinfracht – with IH products, or should I rather say „poor me!“?
). Good point, I will look for an online print, thanks for the hint! -

@Ross thanks man!
-
Can’t wait until these come back into stock.
-
@John-Galt ...few other flavours in the oven as well...
Although please don't ask me for an ETA yet! we're a little too early in the game for that - as soon as I have anything concrete I'll make sure all the relevant forum pages are updated with whatever info I've got
