Very early days…

Any more of these due in anytime soon(ish)?
-
Hi @Kfactor - these are on order, they should be back in stock at the start of next year. They will be a slightly different leather but we will post details on that as soon as we have in info. If you sign up to the restock notifications you will be informed as soon as they are online.

Just curious if these boots are still eventually going to be re stocked?
-
@deanclean they are going to be restocked, we've got them on order. Just awaiting solid ETA information before I say when they're due with us at the moment
-
Thanks @Ross good to know.

@Penny_pants Tried dozens of Wesco boots on... I've found, D width is Wesco's "standard" width, if you have standard D width feet, the E width is too wide causing foot slip.

- 10" Natural Leather Pull-On "Mister Lou" Engineer Boot:@Merv I have made different experience. To me, Wescos „E“ width is more like a standard „D“ width. My Brannon width is D and Wesco E fits me perfectly.
I have three pair of Mr. Lou’s and agree with that assessment. I normally wear a D width in boots in general but the E width in the Mr. Lou’s is a perfect fit for me.
-
adding in another personal observation
i've found the D width Mr. Lou's to fit just like other D width shoes i've owned EXCEPT that they are much lower volume over the instep and toes. Maybe this gives the impression of it fitting narrower/smaller compared to other shoes/boots. Comparing the Wesco D to other PNW boots' C width, there's absolutely no question to me that the D is really a D width for my foot. -
When buying my first pair of Mr. Lou’s, I consulted Standard & Strange and there sizing guide on their site for the Mr. Lou’s states “The MP1339 last that these are built on runs narrow, so the E width wears like a D.” Granted, everyones foot is shaped a little different and this is a general guideline, but what convinced me at the time is that S&S offers the Mr. Lou in only E widths.
-
The E fits like a D theory has proven true for me as well. My 12E Lous fit just like my other D width boots.
-
Providing a little actual data since I was doubting myself.
I grabbed the foot beds out of a random assortment of shoes from vans, Nike, new balance, saucony, and a random pair of Amazon aftermarket insoles. Most are size 10D but the Wescos are 9D. Being smaller in length one would expect the same width rating to be physically narrower. Except in two instances with the aftermarket size 11 footbed (no width statement) and the 10.5D new balance running shoes which fit very wide imo, the wesco insole was exactly the same width or wider than everything else I own. Ymmv. Here's a representative comparison between the wesco and vans 10D

Does anyone have any patina photos of this boot?
-
@John-Galt If the Wesco “E” fits like a normal D width then, why not just call it a D width? Why the confusion about their LAST widths? I also watch the Wesco video which didn’t really clear up any misinformation about how their boots fit.
-
@pechelman The only accurate way to compare is to use a brannock device. Mass produced sneaker sizing is all over the map because they’re produced, from season to season in different factories all over the world. Forget about any quality control or standard sizing.
