WESCO-MRLOU-NATH - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Engineer Boot - Natural. The "Mister Lou"

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?

These are in the building, will be going online I imagine this or next week

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 !

How do these size compared to Iron Rangers?

[Ross]

@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.

@Ross thanks I really appreciate it

[Damocles]

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