      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.

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

                          @AdamJ what width are these? I am not seeing that information on the product page.

                            @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.
