Once the window closes, this makeup is no longer available
Vegetable-tanned and left undyed, this leather tells your story from day one.
• Full-grain horsehide
• Natural, unfinished surface
• High oil content for depth and pull-up
• Dramatic patina development
• Will darken significantly with wear
Every scuff becomes character. Every mile becomes visible. This is the engineer boot equivalent of raw denim — it gets better because you live in it.
Originally built on Wesco’s narrow-profile engineer last, the Mister Lou has become one of the most sought-after engineer boots in the world.
Specs:
• 10" Height
• Natural Vacchetta Horsehide
• Classic Engineer Strap Configuration
• Vibram® 705 Half Comp Sole in brown
• Stitchdown Construction
• Handcrafted in Scappoose, Oregon
The silhouette is sleek, slightly dressier then todays engineer, but still built like a tank. Understated, but serious.
That means:
• No two pairs will age the same
• First scuffs show immediately
• Six months from now, they’ll look completely different than day one
This is a boot you commit to.
The Mister Lou typically runs slightly short and narrow. An 'E' is a D is most other lasts. We advise going up a half size from your other PNW 55 lasts or drop a half size from your normal sneaker size.
If you’re between sizes or have a wider foot, reach out — we’ll make sure you get dialed.
You know we don’t let you guess on fit.
Pre-order NOW thru March 31st!
This is not a “safe” leather.
It will darken.
It will mark.
It will show wear immediately.
