What's In A Name
The Lou is named after our friend and acclaimed chef, Lou Lambert, who not unlike this boot is classic, hard-working and able to make just about anything happen. Generous and sincere, Lou loves to help people, and we felt this style was perfect to be named for him.

First pair of The Lou
I recognize break-in is a personal experience so take this with a grain of salt. It has been three weeks now. The soles were comfortable from day one. I oiled the leather inside and out twice. Only the top of outer face of the upper is still not comfortable. I wear the boots at least 4 hours each day. Overall I like the boot and would buy again.

The Lou Dark Natural Boots
Still breaking them in. The leather seems thicker then other brands I've had, which means stiffer and a longer break in period. I really like them.

Great boots!!
These are some of the best looking boots I’ve ever owned. A little stiff at first but within a couple weeks they are now the most comfortable boots I own. Can’t say enough good things about Helm, I’ll definitely be a returning customer!!
