    Half size down from UK7 (meermin rui, hiro, loake capital, carlos Santos 234) I found half sizing down 6.5uk with loafers gives me the best fit

    I went half a size down from my usual oxfords for their unlined loafers and they fit great. I would say half down if that picture is with your foot pushed all the way forward.

    Hello gentlemen! Posting some initial thoughts on their new wholecut chelsea in HIRO, dark brown Beautiful looking shoes, double rubber dainite (tho it doesnt say "dainite"?) soles. Sleek side profile with two pull tabs (tho a long enough shoe horn does the trick). Took these in my usual...

    Hello! Any experiences with Meermins Chelsea boots in HIRO? https://www.meermin.es/in_en/10105010170000he-17-101050-dark-brown-calf-e-marron.html Looking to get these but I'm not sure if i should get them in my usual oxford size of 7UK or half size down to my loafer size of 6.5UK? The lack of...

    I might go for 7UK given that info. Having shearling lining might take up more space inside, plus it being a boot gives you more support around the ankle, reducing heel slip.

    Hello gentlemen! I just received my winnings from Meermins online contest of their unlined loafers and I must say, these are a beaut! (Apologies in advance for the lenghy image-y post, just want to share these with everyone) Dark brown unlined string loafers Soft calf heel bed with suede...

    I believe the same goodyear methods were used for the unlined but just with a more pliable/softer outsole. Your reputable cobbler than can resole goodyear welt can probably handle that just as well. Did you half size down for the unlined loafers? Hows the fit? Just ordered mine in a half size...

    Hey gentlemen! I happen to be the lucky winner of Meermins giveaway for an unlined loafer on Instagram, lucky me! Haha now my question is: I ordered it a half size down in 6.5UK from my usual 7UK in oxford shoes across 4 diff brands (7uk in RUI as well). Figured it being a loafer plus unlined...

    This is exactly what I did! I say go for it (and endure the break in pain) My toes feel a bit cramped in this but bearable and I'm still on my 2nd wear of the ever present stiff Meermin break in period haha I wear 7uk on my Meermin Rui, Carlos Santos 234, Loake Capital. 7.5 on Meermin HIRO...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Care routine should be the same. Got a pair myself and upon research, it isn't actually made from a llama (animal) haha Meermin stated that it's shrunken baby calf that gives it a natural grain texture as opposed to stamping them like the usual pebble grain. They just really names it lama, sad...

    Yes this would definitely help. I went with the recommendation of Seamless Bespoke of going half a size down for loafers although they didnt mention it was a G width haha UPDATE! My half size loafters have been having less heel sleep after break in. I can further accept that this is the right...

    Another Spanish Shoe brand - Yanko

    Hmmm tricky tricky. Based on more tests on my half size down (6.5UK), I have come to the conclusion that the heel slip will definitely be better with break in. Though I also realized that going a full size down (6UK) would have been way too cramped and that my toes might be curled a bit. This is...

    whats your size now? Come to think of it, full size down might be way too cramped for the toes. With my half size down now (with some heel slip) I can cramp my toes forward and fit a finger tight behind my heel.

    Another Spanish Shoe brand - Yanko

    this makes me worry haha! had similar experiences with 2 other shoes though and now they dont have any more heel slip after break in, though those were lace ups. Hoping mine gets better! Have you tried tongue pads? my half size bigger double monks fit A LOT better after tongue pads. I realized...

    Finally got them! I ordered half size down 6.5UK from my usual as the shop (Seamless Bespoke Singapore) recommended as well for all loafers. Fit wise I'm not quite sure if I could've gone all the way down to 6UK, seems like a big leap going full size down but initially I do have some definite...
