      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!

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

                                @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

                                  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.

                                          I feel almost embarrassed for asking this but…

                                          I am a 555 man. Like a narrow hem. I assume that a 555 would allow for the Mister Lou’s to be taken on and off?

                                            I would say it depends on the size you wear in the 555 and thus the hem. If you have a small waist I think it won’t work. I wear mainly 634 due to this and my waist is around 31/32. 555/777 doesn’t work over Engineers in my size. A hem of 7.5 would be the minimum for me to fit over the boots.
