I'm looking into the snuff suede tassel loafers but have heard that the last runs a bit narrow. Is there anyone who owns these loafers as well as Rancourts who can comment for comparison's sake?

I'd be custom ordering a large size, which means no returns, so I can't try them on ahead of time.

Hello,

I am debating on buying a pair of shell cordovan boots in UK size 5 on their Negon last. My only experience with Meermin are a pair of snuff suede monkstraps which I bought in UK size 6 on their Hiro Last. There is a tiny bit of heel slip on the monkstraps, but with thick socks it is okay. I normally wear 7D on my Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill and that is my typical Brannock size. Should I bite the bullet and order?

Have a question about a pair of linea maestro cap toe oxfords. There are deep indentations in the footbed, where the stitch line is, that really makes them unwearable. They’ve been in my wardrobe for about two years at this point, with the occasional wear and no improvement.
Is that common with this line, are they just two narrow a fit for me maybe (they’re my uk size, 8.5, but the Olfe last I think) or does it even out eventually?

How does the new Nova last compare to Ron?

How does the new Nova last compare to Ron?

I personally prefer Nova to Ron. Ron is extremely narrow on the toes, and while on unlined loafers it can be ok (a little too snug maybe), on lined loafers with structured toe it can be painful.

Nova has a more realistic shape, highly recommended.

Did you get the same size in Nova as in Ron?

Did you get the same size in Nova as in Ron?

Yes, 8.5 UK in both. Nova fits perfectly, Ron has too high insted and too narrow on the toes for my taste. I can live with my two pairs of RON (one lined, one unlined), but I feel more comfortable with Nova

Meermin seems like a very good deal sadly they currently don't seem to be doing a standard brown penny loafer and a normal brown derby

Hello,

I am sharing these photos hoping that some of you had the same situation with some Meermins and can let me know if and how I can solve it.
Only the front part of the heels are touching the ground when they stand alone. If I push the heels to have 100% contact with the ground, the front of the boots rises.
When I try them, I feel that the heels are pushing on my feet exactly in the front of the heels.
The whole construction seems to be wrong in my eyes.
Wrote this to Meermin, they’ve replied “
We have carefully reviewed the images you sent. Based on our assessment, we do not observe any visible defects or misalignment between the heels and the front of the boots.”

I have few pairs of Meermins but none of them with this kind of issue.

Will Meermin admit that it’s an issue?

Thank you!
