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

[j6550]

Just here to give an update. I exchanged some emails with Chris Warren from Wesco and with the guys from Iron Heart I feel good about keeping these now.

@j6550 - I have a similar mark from a leather tool (farther up the boot) on the back of my olive petrolio (sp?) Mr. Lou’s from TSV and because it’s not a part of the boot that has to flex / stress, I’ve never had a problem - been wearing them for ~2 years now. I wouldn’t stress about it. Take a picture send it to Wesco and if it’s an issue in the future they can likely find a fix. Just don’t play with it / make it worse

[j6550]

@Kjunx Yep that's what I did. I'm definitely not messing with it bc it'll probably get worse. I don't even think about it anymore.

Couple of weeks of mild wear, love m!

@Larkens looking great buddy, can't stop thinking about natty horsehide

[Larkens]

@FlavourFade Thanks! I get that, I couldn't either... look where it got me haha.

Small update in the setting sun yesterday evening

@Larkens How did your heel slip start, how is it now, after how many wears?

[Larkens]

@indigostiff not much slip brand new. Got even better after a couple of weeks. My boss boots have a little bit of slip, the Lou grips my feet even better. Lucky guy, I know.

Edit: got my last Christmas. So couple of months of wear. Mixed in rotation with my boss boots.

The break in continues boots for life…

Any chance we’ll see a restock on this one in the near future?

[Alex]

we have orders in for all wesco models we stock, but their lead times are insane at the moment. @Jack may have a more accurate ETD on this model than I have off the top of my head

[Jack]

I placed an order for these in November last year, from keeping regular contact with Chris at Wesco I know lead times have been cut down over the past year or so, so hopefully not a massive wait, but I imagine we are still a number of months away bit I would be plucking dates out of thin air if I was to give you a more accurate ETA date than that.

Before these arrive, we should get a restock the black version, a restock on the British tan Journeyman's, and also a collaboration Morrison boot you can check out below.
