Great review, and congrats on the gorgeous boots! FYI: the toe track on Role Clubs is an option you can opt out of during the order process. And of course Role Club is my favorite looking engineer haha…But the price 😭😳😂 Anyhow, yeah, if the Wesco fits (which, for me it didn’t), there’s no reason to get another engineer unless ya want to. Enjoy the boots, brotha!

I agree for the money. But I like the profile of Mister Freedom and Julian’s. I do like a squared toe box though my Julian’s don’t but great profile nonetheless. Yeah wish most RWs didn’t have steel toes. I’ve got Julian’s and RW 2268s. Wish the 2268s didn’t have the steel toe. If you need it for work great but I don’t. Attractions are nice too. I’m totally impressed with the Julian’s. Fit right out of the box. True to size. Those Mr Lous are super nice though. Sizing always helps. Thx!

I know this opinion is arguable, but I much prefer the Red Wing styling over the Wesco's. In my mind the Mr. Lou's look like city boots with delicate toes and a vamp strap that crosses too high on the upper vamp, with a buckle that is too delicate and placed too far forward on the top of the vamp. The Red Wing engineer styling is spot on in my book -- rugged and "engineer" looking, with a low slung buckle and a style that tolerates a hard worn, beat up look well. The RW design is true to the history of the boot -- meant to be abused and matched with well worn jeans, never with slacks. Edited to delete a redundant word mistakenly left in.

As the Classic 1960s Batman(Adam West) might say, "Holy Bat-A-Rang"! That's one hell of a handsome pair of boots. I have no disagreement or criticisms. My only comments-more an observation; to my eyes they look like a cross between British equestrian and Chelsea boots. Shorten the shaft from knee high, add the engineer harness straps and style the vamp similar to the Chelsea is how I arrived at my conclusion. Regardless, they are one Sweet Ride of a Engineer Boot! As always a great show! Thank you.

Funnily enough, the engineer boot evolved out of early 20th century US cavalry boots, which in turn evolved out of the Wellington boot, which was itself a military variation on a British equestrian boot. So your observations are pretty spot-on.

Do you think there is a similarity between wearing straight leg jeans and bulkier boots (Red Wing Engineer) being transitioned to slimmer leg jeans and slimmer boots like the Mr Lou or John Lofgren boots. Feminazation of a more masculine style? It's interesting to me and I'm not sure my viewpoint on it truthfully. I just would value your opinion.
@CJCook

No, I don't think so. Men's trousers have gotten slimmer over time. If you look at a vintage inspired clothing line like Pike Brothers the leg opening is wide. The modern slimmer look is flattering for shorter men and to the male silhouette.

HI! I'm Matteo from Milan Italy. Gorgeous Mr Lou boots. I want to order a pair too but I'm extremely undecided about the size. Some say (including the factory) to cut half a size off, others don't on the Mr Lous due to the "MP" toe. My measurements are 10US (27.4cm) and foot circumference at the ball 11 inches, so wide. In Nicks boots I'm a 9.5F. What do you think about Wesco Mr. Lou? In all Red Wing moc toes I wear a size 10 and in all my boots I wear a 28.5 cm leather insole that fits perfectly. help!!!
