Meermin Mallorca Shoes

[Zan-san]

Hi,

Got this reply from Meermin, their support is good as usual. Or that has been my experience.

It's a bit annoying to ask for these details for some lasts. Most are present in their page, but not all.

Hi guys, I just ordered my first pair of Meermins, also being my first pair of loafers. Although my feet are both sized almost exactly the same, the left loafer is much looser than the right.
I took a photo from the top showing the left shoe “entrance” to be much wider than the right. On the left side I experience slipping of my heel, whilst the right shoe fits like a glove.

Is this something common, or might this be a defect for which the loafers should be returned?

Thanks for any tips.

Looks like they're different sizes or they were stretched at some point. To double check your sizing you could try measuring the girth of each foot at the arch and see if there's a significant difference in width/volume between feet. A little bit of variation is normal. But again, I suspect the shoes are problematic.

Yes indeed it is. I ordered a Black Calf Chelsea in UK12.5 on Hiro last as my UK13 Hok last shell NST feels a bit too long and being a Chelsea I think it is a calculated risk to go half size smaller. Toes crossed that they fit ok.

It took all my willpower not to buy anything 😂

Breaking in black cap toes around the house over a few week period. I got these for like 100 bucks from the ebay seconds store with a flaw so minor it's not worth mentioning. They're beautiful but they're so uncomfortable. The opening of the shoe is so damn small. I broke in some Chelsea's in the same last and size but it took forever. Wish me luck.

Going back through my old posts and found this... ended up selling them as the opening was too tight and I couldn't get my foot in. But I was able to snag the same length in WIDE this time from their seconds sale. Apparently they have one day shipping to my location.

It’s a shame that they only have wide sizes on this model. I would buy way more if they had more. 7.5UK Hiro was too hard to fit in regular width but fits very well in wide. Probably my final meermin purchase unless they start offering more wide options.

Try emailing them about a specific model you'd want in wide, they could probably do it for other Hiro models

I was last week in Meermin Madrid shop located in Claudio Cohello street, very very nice premises and helpfull staff. I tried several shoes in different lasts and sizes so I can focus my next purchases, I am 10.5UK in Hok and Rod and 11 UK in Hiro.

Lovely store, worth a visit.

Hi. I have heard that UPS/DHL charge a crazy amount of brokerage fees when shipping items to Canada. Is it still the case nowadays? I plan to purchase shoes from Meermin, but I worry about the tax and brokerage fees.

I just received some Chelsea boots this week. Was charged 20% duty plus a $10 ROD fee (something to do with Fedex) and GST (Alberta no PST). Package came from Texas via Fedex. Was very fast shipping but was disappointed to see customs fees as I didn't have any two years ago when I ordered.
