      I'd say going E instead of D in Lou's is needed. I'm usually 9D in all my shoes, like Wesco Bosses, and I took 9E in Lou's and they fit like other shoes/boots 9D. Just my experience (I have 2 pair of Lou's)

          @Ross Thank you for updated photos. They look great. Looks very close to british tan from the photos. I guess british tan is like a head start on natural veg tan.

                    Hey everyone x

                    Would these need Obenauf’s Water Shield when they’re brand new, as I get a lot of rain where I live.
                    If so, would you recommend applying two or four coats?

                    I’m assuming there’s no need to use Obenauf’s Leather Oil or Heavy Duty LP at this stage — perhaps after a while, around six months of wear?

                        Hi mate

                        I think two coats at first should be just fine, then apply a another two down the line.

                        And yes I personally wouldn't apply the leader oil yet, six to eight months is a good time to apply after you have worn the boots in for a bit, they can take a good beating !

                                    @jdwaid I generally find Wesco to size pretty similarly to Redwing, or at least your Redwing sizing makes for a good starting point to try if you've never tried Wesco before.

                                    If you'd like to get into the specifics you can always shoot me a DM or Email and i'll advise as best i can.

                                        @jdwaid In terms of sizing the Mr Lous, choose your regular width and go half a size down from your Brannock measurement.
