I’ll post my Wesco lace-ups another time.

Finally getting around to wearing these custom Wesco collab Boss boots in Black CXL Cowhide that I bought from Iron Heart Germany. The only other engineer boot I’m familiar with is the Mister Lou. I own 2 pairs, Black HH CXL 9.5D & Nat CXL in 9.5E. Went 9.5D in these Boss boots and they feel suspiciously comfortable upon the first wear (with thick socks & no insole), compared to my experience breaking in my Mister Lou’s. I’m assuming it’s cause of the 9165 last on these Boss’s vs the more narrow 1339 last on the Mister Lou that I’m used to.

Nonetheless, they look amazing so far. Im a huge fan of this last and toe shape. Nice change from an MP toe & 1339 last that’s for sure.

I am a Wesco addict

Should I expect crocking if I wear this with a white t-shirt under, etc ?

Thanks everyone for the Mr. Lou size reccomendations. Unfortunately by the time I read all this info and decided on a size, the 9.5E was sold out. Damn! I gotta be quick next time...

Hoping to pick up my first pair of Wesco Engineers soon (if they don't sell out) I am having trouble with the size though.

I am a 9.5D in all Red Wings (Iron Rangers, Moc etc)
10 in Converse Chuck 70
10.5 in Nike/Hoka/Adidas/Salomon/Vans.

Can anyone steer me into what size I might be in this Horween Mr. Lou?
