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

@Germinal Not going be be in the near future I'm afraid, we'll be getting them back but we're working with Wescos timescales. I wouldn't expect to see them back for at least a year

While I tap my foot and wait ... if I have Lofgren's in size 9D that fit well, I should consider these in a 9E, as they run narrower?

[bluemantra]

Will these get to the level of the british tan domain with patina?

[Ross]

@bluemantra If my samples in the same hide are anything to go by - pretty close! mine have got to an almost caramel brown now after around 18 months of near continuous wear

...i really should get some more pics of those uploaded at some stage...

[bluemantra]

@Ross yes, pics please!

[Ross]

@bluemantra You can see what they were looking like after ~6 months here

[Ross]

@anodyne Sorry I missed this

I think that going to the E wouldn't be a bad idea, especially if you are worried about the width in any way ie. if you find your Lofgrens are 'snug' in width.

However, if you've never struggled with width in any way and your Lofgrens feel nice and roomy in a D width then you may be better off sticking with a D in Wesco as well

You can always shoot me an email or DM if you want to get into the nitty-gritty on sizing

I'd say going E instead of D in Lou's is needed. I'm usually 9D in all my shoes, like Wesco Bosses, and I took 9E in Lou's and they fit like other shoes/boots 9D. Just my experience (I have 2 pair of Lou's)

@bluemantra Just done a few updated pics for them as promised here

[bluemantra]

@Ross Thank you for updated photos. They look great. Looks very close to british tan from the photos. I guess british tan is like a head start on natural veg tan.
