Meermin. Carmina 2nd brand? - Page 277

Yours look so narrow and pointy. In this picture thay look more like the Trickers 1829 last?



When are they expected to be ready?

^ the ben last? not at all. if anything they look wider

But not in Cantabrigian picture

maybe thats were we differ, I dont think they look narrow at all. its difficult to gauge the toe shape with that angle. i think you need a top down view to make that determination

 

Its deceiving, but Ben last is far from wide or roomy.  It is a narrow/slim last akin to JL 8000, G&G TG73, EG 82.

chogall do you own a pair of Meermin shoes on the BEN last? If you do, maybe you could take a picture from above?

plenty of pics on google, just be aware thats its really hard to type in these words

Austerity Brogue on the Ben Last.....

No, there are not plenty of pictures if you search google, only a couple of wing tip that does not look like the Meermins product image of the BEN last and a pair of suede. And only one pic from above.

kev777 how do you experience the last? Can you take any more pictures from the top and maybe a few when you are wearing them?

I think the last looks much pointer in real life than in this picture.

Those look like New Rey!

I dont think any more pictures from above will be any different to that which I posted, but here's one of them being worn



They def aren't the REY as that very slim last just doesn't fit my feet, notice how much wider the BEN last is in the last comparison picture posted a few posts back!!

I know but in the side by side with the brogue they look nothing like each other!

Brogue?! Cap toe even! Those look good on BTW! (If a little tight)

Exactly my thought. I have not seen one shoe that looks like the shoe in the product image.

They def arent tight, just had them not tightened up on the first couple wearings !! They are now one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have !!
