Any thoughts on their latest offering, the "heritage shell cordovan," also from the undisclosed tannery.

Very interesting offering of $350 shell.

Darn, those look better than the Waxy cordovan boots I ordered. I like the Whiskey NST version but I prefer rubber soles.

Yes, Whiskey would have been nice in daynite or commando sole!! I choose burgundy.

I'm calling this as Rocinante/Lis Royale. These are the primary colors they make, and they would meet all the definitions of the description Meermin has been using as well as make sense for the pricing.

Mystery tannery, bargain basement price, new last, what could go wrong? TBH those NSTs are kind of tempting though.

Not a fan of nst, but if I was, I would’ve gone for the whiskey.

+1 for Rocinante/Lis Royale. They are American!! It would be good to have another Cordovan source for @Meermin and more options. I have a couple of Horween cordovan shoes from AE but not willing to pay the upcharge every time for regular shoes and boots.

Can someone enlighten me how Meermin can sell new Cordovan boots for €330?

I’ve gotten several pairs of seconds from AE, which use Horween for $350. The flaws are imperceptible (I got lucky). The mark up on shoes and clothing is massive.

Yeah I'm very tempted on these. I sort of swore off Meermin because some of my pairs aren't aging well, but these boots look really nice.

Anyone have sizing advice on the last, they say same as HOK, but I have heard that before and it's been totally wrong?

I just ordered a pair if NST in whiskey, and a pair of the jumpers in black. First time going with Meermin.
Ordered my usual size UK 7 which I wear in Carmina Rain, Robert, Forest. As well as Bonafe on the 74945 last.
Any know if the size on the Meermin will be good to go?
Thinking of buying another pair of the NST in black, and a second pairs of jumpers in burgundy.

I replied on the Shell thread but I really think you should read the detail before you buy more.

Do they have a reputation for lower priced shell? Any known drawbacks?
