Chris at wesco helped me out on this one. I wear 10 D on all pnw boots and it works for me

Ordering process

Purchased from WescoLead time: 4 months

Awesome! It was on the house

Use & wear

I wear them for all things, from the shop to the woods

Leather

Wesco / Horween Black Horsehide

My second pair of leather from horween. A lot tougher than calf chromexcel but not terrible to break in.

Fit

Length Feels Right
Volume Feels Right
Ball Feels Right
Satisfied with the Fit

I like the last however I still prefer a higher arch (better for my back) had a bit of heel slip in the beginning but now they feel like they’re settling in…I feel like all engineers have the dreaded heel slip

Craftsmanship

Wesco Mister Lou

This is the toughest looking boot I own. Beyond satisfied…now I need the bike to match

Sole & heel

Dr Sole Black OutsoleLess than a day, current sole

Great outsole, like a nicer vibram v-bar. Just right for concrete and play

Dr Sole Black HeelWorn for less than a day, current heel

Solid, love ‘em

Final thoughts

First engineers and first wescos. Have owned whites and nicks so this completes the trifecta. As a work/play boot fits right up there with the best of the pnw boots
