WESCO

Thanks [mention]John Galt [/mention] At least I’ve figured out I need a size 12. I’ll have to check the width of all my Vibergs and try to figure out what Mr Lou width would be best. Appreciate the input.
-
@deanclean Also email the shop shop@ironheart.co.uk concerning sizing. @Chesson is awesome with advice/sizing re: Wesco

Thanks to you too [mention]goosehd [/mention] this forum is such a great resource!

Anybody have an idea what the wait time now is for Wesco custom made boots?
-
-
I dug a little deeper into my Viberg lasts and sizing. They are all size 11.5.
Last 2005 which is an EE
Last 1040 which is an E
Last 2040 is an E but I read it’s more like a D.
My 2040s fit the best I think so I’m thinking I should be looking at a size 12D in a Mr. Lou thanks again everyone for the help. -

Not sure but I have things order from December and February that I still haven't got. Understandable with all the disruptions.
-
@deanclean My experience is the same as Dmart’s experience - the Mr. Lou E width runs similar to a standard D width.

[mention]John Galt [/mention] thanks again. I called up Wesco today and spoke with a gentleman called Kris. Spoke quite a while actually. I couldn’t believe how friendly and patient everyone there seems. You just don’t get that these days it seems. He answered all my questions and suggested I go with a 12D. So I’m going to put an order through later today I hope. It’s Thanksgiving here so may not have time this evening but hopefully tomorrow.

On the topic of custom orders from Wesco, are Mr Lous just a version of the Boss? Lous aren't listed as an option in the custom feature configurator on the Wesco site, so I'm basically just wondering how that works — maybe just a Boss with the MP toe option? Maybe not that simple… Anyway, I've only ever had a stock pair.
A bit frustrating bc basically I just want the stock black horsehide Lou in a 12.5. I wonder if they could swing that any earlier than the nearly yearlong waiting period.

[mention]popvulture [/mention] I don’t think it would be any earlier. They are on first come first serve basis. The guy I talked to said even stockists don’t get ahead in line.

MP toe, slim shaft, tighter heel cup.
But best to ask Wesco the questions.

Cool that makes sense. I figure I should just email and say “I want a Mr Lou with these specs” instead of bothering with trying to customize a Boss on the site. It’s a bit hard to visualize anyway, since the configuration just gives you illustrations.

If I remember correctly IHUK have Mr Lou's coming in soon (er than the 11 month build wait) in a few colours of horsehide @popvulture
-
We have black, brown & natural horsehide on order @Nkwkfld @popvulture - It's going to be around 5-6 months still though.
-
@popvulture I just flipped back up the conversation and saw you are looking for a 12.5. We have only gone up to a 12 on stock sizes. Drop me a DM if you are 100% certain about going ahead, I may be able to tack on 1 more size to our current order or move some things around so you're not waiting 11 months for a custom order.
