hope you don't mind me asking, 

are those for 160 euro + shipping aswell or you have to pay the 360 for the mto?

cause I like a lot this colour ,the one on the e-shop is way to dark for my taste of jeans shoes :)

thanks a lot in advance!

Greetings.

I've no previous experience with Meermin but I've been following this thread with much interest.

What I would like is to make an inquiry with people who have experience with different manufacturers and can make qualified comparisons in terms of quality, design of last at various price-points. I do not believe (and you make correct me if I'm wrong), that a updated ranking-list has been made where the different value-proposals of Meermin have been incorporated. I've seen alot of comparisons that have been made between different mature manufacturers, but no comprehensive list. 

So, to sum it up. Where would you place Meermin Classic line, Meermin Linea Maestro and Meermin MTO? (Or equivalently; in terms of quality and design of last - what other manufacturers can they compete with and surpass?)

For those who have experience with Carmina, please do also incorporate Carmina.

Thank you.

I will admit I enjoyed reading the presumptious posters suggesting Meermin made any thing at my whim

I really am not following what the fuck you're talking about. Meermin doesn't offer a Johdpur. Meermin doesn't offer a double-monk boot. At least, neither of them on their site. These are both designs catering to your whim, am I wrong?

Just ordered a pair of light brown double monks for myself and single monks for my dad. Let's hope this goes quick haha.

I will answer that for you.

ups thanks must have missed it! 

as of the guy who was asking to compare them to other brands of shoes... I have 4 pair of "smart" shoes , 2 church's(post prada acquisition) , 1 meermin , 1 ed green stolen to my uncle ...

Beside EG who clearly plays in another league I'd say I like better Meermin than Church's, are way more confortable and they're better looking on the feet. In terms of construction quality I'm no expert but they look pretty similar wich is odd considering church's retail price is 550 euro and Meermin 160!

If like me you are looking for a good pair of shoes and you can't spend much I'd say Meermin is defenetly the way to go... I'd love to try Ed At Al but I'm scared of shitty Italians customs!
