Hello,
I am looking at buying a two, potentially three pairs.
It is my first time buying them so wanted to get some advice before I take the plunge. Apologies in advance for the bombardment of questions.
First up is the handwelted 102346 double monk (http://meermin.es/ficha_articulo.php?id=2050) in dark brown. Now, I understand that because this is the New Rey last I need to go half a size up.
I am normally between a 9.5 and a 10 UK. I have a pair of Herring Shakespeare II shoes on a 619 last in a 9.5F and they fit well. Can anyone advise if taking the Meermin double monks in a size 10 is the right option?
Secondly, I am looking a getting a fairly simple Oxford in dark brown. I am weighing up between the Meermin 101198 (http://meermin.es/ficha_articulo.php?id=2034) and the Herring Knightsbridge (http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/produ...6&catid=42&oldcolid=418&stype=0&colourid=3374) in Tobacco Brown.
As these are on the Hiro last I imagine there is no need to size up?
Cost isn't a factor here as I have a code for a free shoe tree from Herring so after purchasing one from Meermin they work out pretty much the same. Given the choice, what would you go for?
The other option is going for the handwelted 102461 (http://meermin.es/ficha_articulo.php?id=2724). Do you think these are worth the extra 100 euros?
Again, as these are on the Olfe last I imagine there is no need to size up?
Thirdly, I am still deciding if I should buy some tassel loafers. Specifically I was looking at the 101381 (http://meermin.es/ficha_articulo.php?id=1938) in (you guessed it) dark brown. I am fairly fashion forward but I am not sure if I can pull them off.
I have three pairs of tan and two pairs of burgundy shoes. My only brown pair (I know, I know) have had it hence the obsession with brown.
Lastly, I read an article online from Put This On posted in May that these shoes were made to order for certain members. Do any of you know who had these made? Were they made as a group thing? They are simply stunning and would very much like to possibly purchase a pair if others are interested.
Thanks,
Stephen
