Wesco® - 10" Natural Leather Pull-On "Mister Lou" Engineer Boot

Thanks @Ross good to know.

@Penny_pants Tried dozens of Wesco boots on... I've found, D width is Wesco's "standard" width, if you have standard D width feet, the E width is too wide causing foot slip.

@Dmart said in Wesco - 10" Natural Leather Pull-On "Mister Lou" Engineer Boot:
@Merv I have made different experience. To me, Wescos „E“ width is more like a standard „D“ width. My Brannon width is D and Wesco E fits me perfectly.
I have three pair of Mr. Lou’s and agree with that assessment. I normally wear a D width in boots in general but the E width in the Mr. Lou’s is a perfect fit for me.

adding in another personal observation
i've found the D width Mr. Lou's to fit just like other D width shoes i've owned EXCEPT that they are much lower volume over the instep and toes. Maybe this gives the impression of it fitting narrower/smaller compared to other shoes/boots. Comparing the Wesco D to other PNW boots' C width, there's absolutely no question to me that the D is really a D width for my foot. -
When buying my first pair of Mr. Lou’s, I consulted Standard & Strange and there sizing guide on their site for the Mr. Lou’s states “The MP1339 last that these are built on runs narrow, so the E width wears like a D.” Granted, everyones foot is shaped a little different and this is a general guideline, but what convinced me at the time is that S&S offers the Mr. Lou in only E widths.
-
The E fits like a D theory has proven true for me as well. My 12E Lous fit just like my other D width boots.

Providing a little actual data since I was doubting myself.
I grabbed the foot beds out of a random assortment of shoes from vans, Nike, new balance, saucony, and a random pair of Amazon aftermarket insoles. Most are size 10D but the Wescos are 9D. Being smaller in length one would expect the same width rating to be physically narrower. Except in two instances with the aftermarket size 11 footbed (no width statement) and the 10.5D new balance running shoes which fit very wide imo, the wesco insole was exactly the same width or wider than everything else I own. Ymmv. Here's a representative comparison between the wesco and vans 10D

Does anyone have any patina photos of this boot?
