MTO boots in museum green shell cordovan arrived today. Attached pictures for potential future buyers to get an idea of the colour which I find to be dark olive with alternating tan and pewter grey tones - more olive green in direct daylight/dark grey with green tint out light.

I am about to pull the trigger on my first Meermin order. First I considered ordering from Tlb, but I also wanted to at least try Meermin once.
Usually I wear a size 9 I have two pairs of Dinkelacker on the Buda last , one in size 9 and one in 9,5, both fit, maybe the 9 slightly better. I also own a pair of Carmina tassel loafers on the forest last, size 9 as well. This is the correct size, but the right loafer is a tiny bit loose around the heel.

I want to order two pairs of loafers in suede, both width E, both in size 9. One Hiro last, the other Ron. Does that sound about right to you?
Should I size up to 9.5?
Also, I added belts, size 95. My waist is currently around 93-94cm.

I do not have experience with the other brands, but I have monk straps in Hiro 9UK and Ron loafers also in 9UK, so I suggest going for the same size for the two lasts.

I wear a size 10uk/eu 44 in most brands and my boots were 10uk on the Ron last - my impression is that they are pretty much spot in to the point on being ever so slightly snug, but certainly not to the point of being to small. In fact, I wonder if I might be a weirdo who prefers a slightly looser fit (at the forefoot).

I just ordered size 9 twice and I'll see how they fit. Being EU based does have some advantages when it comes to shoes, it's terrible in regards to tailoring though.

MTO Tobacco waxy shell in identical style to the one offered as RTW, but with proper Goodyear welt on Hok instead of Flex.

They're much more red than the website pictures suggest. Not sure how I feel about that yet, but I think I like it. QC was pretty good!

I didn’t think I would like this leather; but seeing it now on something other than the generic site photographs boots, I have to say I really like these. Guess I’ll be getting a pair in this leather next.

I am in need of a loafer. This one fits the bill


Not the best sale but better than nothing. I am a size 9UK in my Sons of Henry shoes. Would I be the same in Meermin? "Sale" ends Thursday. Would wear this on my upcoming vacation in Los Cabos and on a cruise in the Caribbean

A pair of brown country grain bluchers on the HOK last from the Spring Sale arrived today. I probably didn't do enough research before I jumped on them, but the Meermin "find my fit" recommended 8UK based off my usual RMW AUS8G. They're definitely a "big UK size" - dress sock was a no go; switched to a midweight wool sock and the heel and instep fit pretty nicely, but they are verrrrry long. Far and away the longest UK8's I've seen (I thought that record went to a pair of NPS brogues I have, but the HOK's are probably a full 1/4" longer than those even). I think they'd be wearable because my heel is well seated, the facings have some room when tied up, and they seem to be breaking decently at the forefoot, but the length is pretty offputting visually.

The sale shoes are "no returns/no exchanges" I gather, but I still made a plaintive request to customer service to see if they could be exchanged for a smaller smaller size. I'm perfectly happy with the build quality and materials otherwise, and they're a good looking shoe. But put me in the "size down 1.5 from your US size for the HOK last" camp

If I recally correctly there is a 14-day return/exchange policy which also valid for the spring sale
