IHWE-MRLOU-BLK - Wesco® - 10" Horsehide Pull-On "Mister Lou" Engineer Boot - Black

[GC]

Noted, thanks Alex! I'll get in touch tomorrow to discuss the merits of the 'E' fit too.

So same size in these as Red wings but should I choose D or E width. I want the same width as My iron Rangers size US10D

If you Red Wing's are a standard D width I would say to go with the 10D in the Mister Lou's as well.

And size 10 is about right, assuming you have a normal for (not a high instep, no missing toes etc…

[Mni]

Cheers guys.
Thanks for clearing up lenght and width. I was really confused about the width too. I saw that standart & strange only stocks E width. So I thought that was “normal” width. I guess I can go with the D width then.

People seem to differ wildly in their approach to shoe fittings. Some folks seem put out by what others would consider acceptable wiggle room. Some folks experience discomfort where others are not plagued. My point being, take what I’m about to say with a pinch of salt…

I have Wesco’s in both E and D sizing. I have a relatively wide foot and take E in most high street brands, or have to size up in length for slimmer sneaker profiles like Adidas Originals or Converse.

In the Wesco MP toe I can do a D just fine. The exception being the oil tanned leathers where I prefer an E, because of the thickness and lack of flex.

Finally pulled the trigger on these boots. Took a 10E and the fit is spot on!!! “Fits like a glove”
The boots are absolutely amazing!!! Coming from Redwings this is next level. Not to hate on Redwing or anything like that.
And I have to compliment on the handling of my order and shipping.
I ordered these boots Yesterday at 15.00 local time here in Denmark and they were delivered today at 12.00 local time. STOKED!!!!!!
CHEERS!!!
Thanks for all the help.

RESTOCK

Large number of sizes back in stock in both D & E width's.

Loving mine, both a great fit and look. Starting to ripple nicely now.

@WeirdowithaBeardo thanks for sharing this pic mate, both pairs you have seem to be coming along VERY nicely. Would love to see any more pics you have to help me choose between them. Both boot threads it seems are deprived of some 'used' pictorial updates.

I've been wrangling over which leather to opt for. Appreciating its an entirely personal decision I have to make, but want to ask if you have a personal favourite between them?

Airing my thoughts: Most if not all my boots, are brown, which leans me 75% to the black, plus when they are broken in, man don't they look the ticket.

In brown, they seems to just look great out the box and compliments indigo on another dimension, plus I prefer the brass hardware.

Help man, I'm desperate and torn, before my size gets snapped up, again!

@Giles buying both colourways is not the solution 

[Giles]

Never even crossed my mind…

[GC]

Oops! My finger just happened to slip in all the right places within the cart section and now they’re inbound. Winters on its way I tell ya, or was that just the wife. The anticipation and build up to getting these was next level, I canny wait…

[Giles]

Didn't slip that much.  Only one colour ordered….

[GC]

Just where needed @Giles

[neph93]

@GC:

Just where needed @Giles

Come on then, black or brown?

[GC]

Aha! I opted for black in the end @neph93 , in the hope I'll still occasionally wear my preexisting, albeit lesser, brown boot collection.

Is it right to be having heart palpitations whilst I wait? I'm proper excited pal.

[neph93]

Being excited about this is entirely correct. They are ridiculously beautiful boots and a pleasure in every way. This may not be a good thing but the expectation and pleasure remain the same on your third, fourth and fifth pair [emoji51]

[GC]

That’s, as always, reassuring @neph93 thank you.

So…After all this fuss, I’ve only just gone and ordered the wrong blinking size. US/UK blindsight. Gosport hopefully to the rescue. X

Hi there
Sorry for the delay. I can’t decide which pair I prefer, like you I have mostly brown boots but after I bought these in brown and were so good I went and picked up the black too. I think, and just my view, the black look a little smarter, the brown more rugged. Both fit really well and are wearing in pretty much equally. I think subconsciously I go to the black first for some reason.

[GC]

Thanks @WeirdowithaBeardo , it’s brilliant you’ve added more pics too, I’ll certainly not be the only one to appreciate this. If mine build the character yours are displaying, I’ve a fear that a brown pair may one day get a look in too.
