      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!

                I’m a 9.5D by the Brannock, a D width in most shoes, and have two pair of Mr. Lou’s in 9E that are a perfect fit and one pair of Wesco Boss in 9D that are still slightly tight after extensive break in. Would probably also go with a 9E in the Boss if ordering again.

                No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

                  Same here, 10D brannock and 9.5E in Lou’s if I don’t have them customized. My IR are a 9 if I am not mistaken but the IR just doesn’t fit my feet (too narrow and too long).

                    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!

                            Feinfracht is great! Hoping on a restock on these wesco’s

                                    @Ross Any other flavors of the Mr. Lou horsehides (I.e. brown, natural, etc) forthcoming or only the black? Thanks! John

                                      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

                                        BTW - Anyone trying to decide between a D and E width in these - the Brannock chart indicates the difference to be 3/16”. Not sure how this plays out with the Lou’s, but my experience with the couple pair I have is that they run a little narrow to begin with.
