3DM Lifestyle: $150 Leather Shoes (A Cheaper Meermin?)

[counselor]

I'll counter some of the opinions here... The Venetian Loafers are easily the shittiest leather shoes I own.

The leather is basically plastic and they're extremely uncomfortable. Even at $150, they aren't worth it.

I also saw them on Instagram and the web site looked good,
10% off and free shipping both ways seemed worth taking a chance.
I ordered the Suede Butterfly loafer, following their advice to go down a half size if in between. I wear 9.5 F in C&J and 10 E in Alden. I went with their 9 UK.
They arrived in a week. The fit was a bit snug, but given suede has a tendency to stretch, that is fine.
I have worn them around the house a bit and am quite satisfied at that price.

. Happy to answer any questions.

My second pair, I had them take the tassels and lacing around the sides off. I am quite pleased and for $175.00, they are a very good deal.

Recent purchase. Very very pleased with this one. Got them for $110.

They offered to pay a flat rate for shipping. Something like $20. I gave up and took them to my local guy. He added to the heel to level them out but now they look like logging boots. The burnishing is sub par. Leather quality good. Considering trying again which is why I subscribed to this thread.

Do you mean all Venetian loafers or exclusively the ones from 3dm lifestyle?
