      Chris would not do any customizations on the Mr Lou when someone in the store asked him on one of my visits. Size/fit adjustments only.

          Hey guys, we have a couple of pairs of these that were cancelled orders after construction was finished in sizes: 8D, 9D, 10D, 12D, 13D

          if anyone is interested please send me a DM.

            Need sizing advice, as I've never tried on Mister Lous, or any Wescos. I like a 9.5E in Redwings, and a 10D in sneakers. Since the Purps only come in whole sizes and standard width, what would you do?

              @Go-For-Chill I have 3 pairs of Mr Lou’s and wear the same size as my Red Wings, a half size down from my sneakers.

                @Go-For-Chill the Mr. Lou last is quite narrow, the E is much closer to a standard D. If you are an E in red wings I would personally advise against the D. For this same reason, I would have picked up a pair of the leftovers but just can’t make it work… it’s a gamble for this price point.

                  I agree with @SourPower I also find the Lou to be fairly narrow and I would go for the E, I wear 10D in Red Wing, and I go for the E in the Lou

                    @Go-For-Chill I’m a 9.5D on the Brannock device and wear a 9E in the Mr. Lou; the D width is too narrow for me in the Mr. Lou. I have 4 pair of Mr. Lou’s, including the “purps”, all in E width and they all fit well. I don’t own any RW, so can’t suggest that comparison. For a sneaker comparison, I wear a 10D in my running sneaker - the ASICS Gel Kayano.

                    No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

                      Sounds like the purps weren’t meant to be for my wife half-sized foot.

                                  @SourPower They are all D widths, looks like because there wasn't any Es the widths weren't displaying correctly - this has now been corrected

                                    Very excited to have received these 😊 - in my opinion the most beautiful iteration of Mr Lous by Wesco followed closely by the Natural version!

                                          What a dream. I am usually a 11.5 in Mr Lous and the 12 here fits just perfectly. And the color… magnificent.
