              @northsouthdenimguy I like the contrasting WESCO stamp on these. They are going to evo so beautifully. If I didn't already have these in black and brown, I'd be all over these.

                @Oaktavia thanks 🤘🏻really looking forward to putting some wear on these boots. The leather is definitely a lot stiffer than my other Wesco engineers

                  Oh for sure, my CXL Lou's are buttery soft and pliable compared to the density and stiffness of the horse I have in Maryam. Which leather do you have for your other pair?

                          Pains me to say I just got back from the post office. I had to return mine. The fit just wasn’t right. I think for the most part it was good, but the shaft was very loose. I don’t know if my calves/legs are too skinny but they were swimming in there. Maybe I’m just not used to the style of boot.

                              @Peterldavey mine were pretty hard to get on this morning and I was questioning the sizing, but after wearing them for a few hours they’ve loosened up considerably.

                                @Johnnyutah247 that’s good to hear. I have a pair of rolling dub trio and they were tough to get on at first then over a few months became easier and moulded to my feee and now like a pair of slippers IMG_0395.jpeg

                                  I have to admit, this is my first pair of horsehide boots. Is there any care or conditioning routine I should follow? I’ve always wore cxl boots and left them alone.

                                    @Johnnyutah247 not really will need a little more care than cxl. However don’t over condition, I used to use Venetian cream when they got dry. I used to wear mine every day fairly hard for a month and gave them a little condition once a month. Just depends how often and how you wear them

                                      First wear. I removed the Wesco leather insole and put in a thin Pedag. Wearing lightweight darntough socks, but feel like these will break in considerably to the point where I will use the original insert and wear medium white boots socks.

                                      Definitely agree with the post above as the shaft on these seem to be a little looser or larger than my other Mister Lou/Derroll boot. They probably aren’t, just the stiffness of the leather causes them not to be as formed or round as the CXL. IMG_7683.jpeg

                                          Fit question for the forum. Received my pair on Thursday and got to try on yesterday. For context I’m in between a 10 and a 10.5 redwing and a 10.5 in converse chuck 70s, I have a pair of the jobmaster all black suede flat soles from The Shop (10D) and my brannock is a 10.5B. I purchased a 10D in these Mr. Lous. Currently I can get the boot on, some heel slip (minimal / acceptable) and I can wiggle my toes they are about 1/8 to a 1/4 inch from the front of the boot. My big toe does feel like it’s pushing on the top of the boot due likely to the lower volume in the front. If I remove the insoles they fit better but obv more comfortable with them in from a cushion perspective. Recommendation from the group if this sounds like a good engineer boot fit? I should have purchased both the 10D and 10.5D for comparison but that wasn’t an option. Curious how these break in (ie fit when brand new vs after a bit of wear). New territory for me here in the engineering boot category hence the call for help. Much thanks !
