Did everyone receive a shipping notification? It's been a week since I ordered and I thought I'd get something.

I'm also still waiting for a shipping notification. They said they'd ship the shoes this Monday, but I haven't heard anything from TNT or Meermin. Hopefully they'll send the shoes next Monday..Did everyone receive a shipping notification? It's been a week since I ordered and I thought I'd get something.
Just use the contact form. I've always had the quickest responses that way. They speak very good English.
Yes, worn them a few times.Shaky hands
Have you worn it yet? Any comments?
I am still waiting for mine to arrive....
Just got the Shell Cordovan LWB and the Freudenberg in the mail today. Really pleased with the service from Pepe and Sandro. Very quick to respond to emails both before and after purchase.
I traced my foot, measured it and sent it as a PDF to Meermin along with the sizes I wear in other brands. Pepe recommended a size 8 in the LWB and 8.5 for the Freudenberg. Both fit really well. Price to quality ratio is definitely up there. Leather is very stiff so it'll take some time to break in. Only time will tell how the Argentinian shell holds up. Not a shell expert but upon initial inspection, it looks quite good.
For reference purposes, I wear:
Size 8 Tricker's Belgrave (fits slightly large)
Size 8 Alfred Sargent Connaught (fits perfectly)
Size 7G Church Consul (fits a bit small)
8.5 Alden LWB - Barrie last (didn't buy, only tried on, toe box was fine but major heel slippage)
Anyway, here are some pics:

Beautiful shoes !
Please can you provide us your feedback about the shell cordovan leather quality ? How is the quality of the leather w.r.t. the shell cordovan Alden one ? Is the colour of the first pair of shoes shell cordovan burgundy ?
Thanks in advance for your reply !
Ciao

Well, at half the price of a pair of Alden shell LWB, I was willing to take a shot. They are burgundy which I believe is the only color available for the shell LWB (at least on the website)
Here pics of my new Linea Maestro Split Toe Norweigian Derby shoes. Cuero Shell Cordovan
Here they are next to Alden Ravello and Ralph Lauren Marlow plain toe bluchers to give a sense of color....
They appear to well made, fit very well and are comfortable upon first wearing. The leather is a bit stiff at first and we will see if it softens as it ages.... so far I am very impressed... especially at the price for shell cordovan....
I got a 9.5 UK which is my size for Tricker's, Alfred Sargent and Loake's. I wear a 10D Barrie Last.... they seem to fit very well.
Quote:Those are simply spectacular. What was the price? Did they have the special order upcharge?

290 euro, standard shell makeup for Meermin, no wait time and no upcharge.
So you bought them as they are from the Linea Maestro, no MTO? Then the Shell LWB is on the Rui last which should be much rounder and wider as the Freudenberg on the New Rey last - almost exact opposites when looking at their table of lasts. If the New Rey fits you, will you have the Shell LWB adjusted (it probably wouldn't work the other way round, if the Rui fits you fine then the Freudenberg would be way too narrow). How do you feel about their different fits?
Thanks... 280.76 Euros including shipping..... Customer service is awesome[/SPOILER]
