Meermin Mallorca Shoes

joiji · Jun 14, 2012

I think I'll be quite sad if they start a wholesale business. There's a certain charm with them not having an online store and everything being done person to person via email. That said, I understand if they do. It's clearly an easier proposition for them to get sales on a larger scale when they don't have to deal with the point of sale area, so to speak, but I can't help but seeing them go the same way as Grenson or Loake and the value bleeding out over time.

I've got a pair of tan longwings and black captoes in production for my next order, I'll make sure to post some pictures when I get them

Some more photos before wearing the shoes today (this model:http://meermin.es/ficha_articulo.php?id=2338). Very comfy after a few hours of wear and like the richness in the color in sunlight. One thing though, are these shoes actually made in Spain? I don't see anything indicating this so going off what other posters mentioned about Chinese-made shoes in the Japan store, I think they may be Chinese made? Still nice shoes regardless but I found it interesting that other than "Meermin Mallorca" I see nothing to indicate the country of origin.

Beautiful, beautiful color. I think this just made the decision for me - I'm getting a pair of brown captoes.

This.

But then again, I'm sure if they transition into a wholesale business, another company will sprout out to take their place and be what they currently are right now.

Also, I forgot to ask - did you add those toe taps on your double monks or are they factory added, stevent?

how much is the tax? It will be deducted if one orders from out of Spain, correct?

Yes - VAT is 18%.

How's the finishing compared to DC Lewis, if you don't mind me asking?

Quadcammer · Jun 14, 2012

hey guys, I paid on sunday, still no shipping confirmation.

Any idea how long this usually takes?

thanks.

Can I actually order models that are not in the website? How can I browse other models? (overseas order)

Just picked mine up, I think I shouldve went with a 8UK, there is ever so slight heel slippage, but the width is perfect

I will check later. But on a quick glance, they are comparable. Meermin-I really like the quality of the leather on my pair. The soles are well done, polishing is uniform. If not for the width, at the toe box, easy keeper. So much so, that I am thinking about getting them stretched and keeping them. I am not a fan of having to ship back, but if I do I'l apply the money towards an MTO pair.

looks pretty good on the new rey, but I can see that it is much narrower than some of your other beauties. So I guess now decisions decisions.

Mine was next day although pepe hasn't replied to my emails yet for the past few days so maybe they are busy

My suede wholecut was shipped today with FedEx confirmation. I paid about 10 days ago and was advised by Jose that my size will be delivered in 10 days. They're pretty busy it seems
