Anyone know if Meermin's Custom Boot event is happening this year? Looks like it was Jan / Feb last few years so wondering if I somehow missed it.

Also, what has been everyone's experience with their Chelsea boots? Any particular thoughts on styling/ fit?

I have two pairs of their Chelseas. The difficulty is that they have a very broad set of offering so it’s hard to decide which is the one for you!

I have snuff suede with dainite soles which have seen quite a bit of wear and have held up well.

I also have black calf with comfort rubber soles which I wore out of the shop and took no breaking in. These are quite versatile and can be worn with suits or jeans.

Thanks this is helpful. I've got my eye on the classic black calfs as well. How have you found Hiro last to fit? Consensus seems to be on narrow end of TTS with some taking 0.5 size up.

I have six pairs of Meermins - the two chelseas, jump boots, three hole derbies, polo suede pennys and formal black calf slippers. All are 7.5 regardless of last (I’m usually 8.5 US).

The only time I tried a different size was when they did a MTO on unlined loafers. On the advice of ‘Meermin’ who used to post on this thread I ordered two pairs and sized down. When they were finally delivered they were so small I could barely get my feet in. Should have sized UP. A $500 mistake and both are for sale on eBay now.
