    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Hoping for some advice here. I typically wear Allen Edmond's Park Aves in US9.5D, but turns out I'm closer to 9.5C. The 9.5Ds is just slightly too wide, especially in the heel causing slight slippage. I also have Meermin's Hiro and Eltons in UK8.5, which fits similar to the AE9.5D, slightly...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Does anyone know how Meermin compares to Allen Edmond's 8 last? I have a pair of AE Hales in 9.5D that fits me pretty much perfectly. Wonder what that is to Meermin? I also have a pair of Meermin's Hiro in size 8.5 that fits pretty well, but not as snug as the Hales. I'm a little hesitant to...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Can someone help me out with sizing? I'm looking to buy the Antique Oak Double Monks MTO (Elton last) and not sure what's the best size. I usually wear: Meermin Hiro: 8.5 Meermin Ron: 8 Allen Edmonds Mora 2.0: 9D I emailed Meermin on sizing and they said 8.5 for the Elton would be...

    I don't know the answer to your question, but do you happen to have a real life picture of those shoes (just trying to get a sense of the color)? Thanks!

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    Thanks everyone! I actually ended up pulling the trigger on another pair of 8 last, Hale Oxfords in Walnut Burnished Calf that's on clearance right now for only $300 after taxes. Always loved these shoes. Guess I'll have to justify the Moras next month...

    How does the 8 last fit compared to the 5 last? I have a pair of 5th aves and park aves in 9.5D. I'm looking at the Mora 2.0, but there isn't a store around me to try them on. Thanks!

    Investment Banking Discussion Thread

    Quote: If you're asking do I work in HR in an investment bank, no I don't. I work in the front office and yes I do recruit / interview people for IB positions. I agree if you have literally nothing else related to finance or accounting, CFA says "hey I'm actually interested in finance." But...

    Investment Banking Discussion Thread

    That's actually not correct at all. CFA does next to nothing for your application. Unless you literally have nothing finance or accounting related, which in that case a CFA isn't going to get you the job anyway. http://www.mergersandinquisitions.com/cfa-investment-banking/

    What's Life like in Audit?

    1. If you're in audit, 95% of the time you'll be traveling, but typically within driving distance of your office. Almost the entire audit process is done onsite at the client's offices, especially when you're a first or second year. That said, there can be times when you're staying in a hotel. I...

    I got a job offer from an accounting firm but I have a problem...

     I see your point but feel it's honestly marginally better even so. In certain markets GT / BDO may have a really strong presence, but overall they're still far behind Big 4 and tend to get clumped together with everyone else. It's not so much there isn't an actual difference, it's more...

    I got a job offer from an accounting firm but I have a problem...

    Most importantly, call up your contacts at Deloitte and McGladrey and tell them you have an exploding offer from a competitor, and request to do in house interviews earlier if possible. Even if they can't make it work, at least they know you're highly sought after. I've been through both sides...

    Hi, this is my first time posting on the forum though I've been lurking for some time. I was hoping to get some help regarding my recent (and also first) AE purchase(s). I bought the 5th Aves in Walnut and the Park Aves in Walnut Cloud during the recent sale, but only intend on keeping one of...
