      Curious, I wear a 10D in Wesco Morrisons. I could use a bit more width, would 10E be the logical choice here? How do these compare fit wise to the Morrisons?

        @nrtphotos You might want to ask chris@wescoboots.com for a definitive answer.

          Thanks, I have sent them an email. From my research the Lou’s are narrower, so I’m pretty confident I’ll be an 10.5E to make up for my already slightly too tight Morrisons.

          Hoping the boys have some E’s coming in the shipment!! I’m asking for some gift cards for Christmas in anticipation!

            @nrtphotos I would say E is the right choice. If you typically have a regula wide foot, E is the way to go in the Lou‘s.

                I would expect the same but best to check with Chris.

                  @Dmart haven’t heard back yet. I find the instep on the 10D Morrisons is already almost too tight, combined with the almost too narrow feeling on the ball of my foot. The Wesco sizing video says the last on the Mr. Lou’s is both narrower and a lower instep, that makes me think I’d almost need to be 10.5E to make up for the tighter instep and width? Argh!

                    @nrtphotos That would make sense to me. The instep of the Lou is low and there is not too much give over time but this may depend as well on the leather. I have a custom form so they fit me quite well. I am eying a Morrison as my next one, slowly transitioning to more cowboy style boots.
                    You could maybe measure your feet and share the measurements with Wesco, they are very supportive and typically responsive but also very busy.
                    In any way, the Lou’s are great boots, I have three of them now 😂

                                      Awesome, snagged a pair of the Maryam! Wesco advised 10.5E yesterday, so fingers crossed! Interesting to see Horween offered too, is there much of a difference? Didn't look like my size was available. Are either a teacore? Thanks boys!

                                        @nrtphotos only difference between the two (other than the name of the tannery) is that the Maryams are veg tanned where the Horween is chrome tanned. The Maryam is a little more textured and stiffer - The Horween a little softer and smoother

                                          @Ross I'm all set with my Mr. Lou's, so not asking for me, but I'm noticing that the heel stays in the pictures are different between the two versions. Chris told me he was switching all new production Mr. Lou's to look like the Horween photos that have it stitched down without a pull loop.

                                          My intention is to clarify this so it doesnt surprise anyone in either way.
