Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy amaru_and_crow • April 1, 2025"My daily commute takes me from the breakfast table to my garage and the most dangerous thing in encounter in my day is the wheel of my office chair. With that said these boots have traveled the Americas crossing the equator about 4 times including walks in a few Andrea cities. These certainly have a bit of that TSA patina...."Read the full review
Mr. Lou? These puppies are amazing!
Wesco Mister Lou in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy hosekileather • November 5, 2024"I wear these away from work, after work, on the motorcycle, going out on the town. Anything but work. I've never had a pair of engineers before and I have to say I'm impressed...."Read the full review

I take care of my boots...."Read the full review
Everyday Engineers
Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Petrolio Waxed Black HorsehideBy timelesstough • April 4, 2025"My Mister Lous! These boots are up for anything!

Transformative year, transformative pair
Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Black HorsehideBy Deckard • April 4, 2024"Daily or near it. Some rests but these went everywhere I did: work in a clinical environment to hiking some dirt and rocky trails with my dog to playing at the park with my son and all points in between. There were no limits. Roads? Where were going we don’t need roads. Just a solid pair of engiees on our feet...."Read the full review
Lou and Me
Wesco Mister Lou in Horween Brown ChromexcelBy Leetsalot • April 5, 2024"The majority of wear came in the form of work(retail). Wore them every shift for typically 9+ hours. They also accompanied me on plenty of dog walks, date nights, sporting events and even the symphony. Wore them in the small amount of snow my area received and some wet/muddy yard work...."Read the full review
Engineering a New Style
Wesco Mister Lou in Horween Black Chromexcel HorsehideBy chromepak.jack • April 5, 2024"Done a lot of walking, a bit of cycling(!) and also a good deal of sitting and rubbing against chair legs 🙃
Really enjoyed the few gentle hikes I took in the fall wearing these boots. The heel height made the inclines feel more manageable.
The height of the shaft was great in the few monster snow dumps we got this year...."Read the full review
