Meermin. Carmina 2nd brand? - Page 269

It took a while to adjust to the other "9-5" but I think I finally found something that allows me to sleep on the job, if you will

You know, I don't think I will

its good work if you can get it

Quite snug, but not more snug than other shoes I own in UK width F from Grenson for instance. The main issue is the lacing area strangely enough. I have a derby on the same last which is also a snug fit sans the lacing issue.

Sounds like you have a high instep to go along with a foot that is too wide for that very narrow last. 

Shoes and trees paid for, now the wait begins.

Couple of questions, if you guys don't mind, Meermin's site seems to be down.
What do the classic collection cost shipped, and do you have to pay duties? Does the VAT get deducted automatically? And how long are shipping times on non-MTO?

Not looked at the classic collection for a while but I think they're €160 which would be $175 after vat deduction plus €30 shipping. Don't get trees or you'll get hung up in customs and have forms to fill in and be more likely to get hit with duty. Delivery is the $1M dollar question; if the shoes are in stock it should be pretty quick. That's all I've got

3rd wear. Starting to be borderline comfortable! Slightly heavier creasing than I would've liked but nothing trees don't take care of.

Does anyone else in colder climes wince when they walk across rocksalt in their LM's?

Hi everybody,

 

I owe you guys an update on my double monks.

 

Since my last post I have been in contact with Pepe and he informed me that he had personally inspected my shoes. The shoes were not returned because they were used, as Sandro said, but because he thinks there is nothing wrong with them. My shoes arrived yesterday. I found that the toe caps are not cut in a straight line on both shoes and are probably not supposed to be cut completely straight. The difference between the left and right shoe is actually fairly minimal. Difficult to see exactly because were talking curved lines on a curved surface, but minimal.

 

I assume the leather is cut by hand, so expecting the cuts to be exactly the same was unrealistic of me. If anything, it adds a certain rustic or artisanal charm. I send an email with apologies to Pepe and Sandro

 

Between the stress from a lack of sleep from a, otherwise wonderfull, nine month old baby and a mother diagnosed with cancer I lost my cool here and overreacted. The shoes are fine! My sincere apologies if I caused any concern about the quality of Meermin shoes.

I´m very dissapointed with my brown calf doublemonks (I´ll return them), they are pretty noisy when I walk. I applied skin-care cream on the lining, as Carminas Madrid shop assistent adviced, but they didn´t change.

try some talcum powder.

 

you need a lot of leather lotion and some shoe creams...

 

Wow, those look awesome. Great slacks/socks/shoe combo, too.

Cheers Mario! Chogall, what would you recommend? I hit them with a balsam before first wear but it didn't absorb very well. Would you renovateur them?
Any advice appreciated I'm a bit of a noob at anything other than polishing
