Meermin Mallorca Shoes

[mikealvaa]

Anyone know where I can find shoe trees that fit the hiro last?

I purchased some oxfords at the SoHo location but they are sold out everywhere

Waxy commanders have become my go to footwear for trips where there may be any kind of foul weather

Has anyone successfully used the 'notify me when available' function on Meermin's website?

My experience with some other brands/outlets has been that once a product is out of stock, it's gone and the 'notify me' function seems to serve only as a device for collecting email addresses. Not saying that's the case here.

It has worked for me a couple of times

Yep it did work, though when I ordered it I actually received the wrong colour 😂

Thanks! I've submitted it and will wait and see.

Just so you know, if you contact them about the availability, they might actually offer to make it for you, but it takes 2-3 months

Hi all, looking for some sizing advice. Currently eyeing a pair of Meermin suede loafers on the RON last. For reference, I wear a US 9D in AE's 2042 last and a 9.5D in the 65 last. Would I be good with an 8UK?

Dear Sirs,

Some of you have posted some pictures of your Meermin balmoral boots in brown lama calf, and theses shoes look absolutely gorgeous.
Apparently, the lama calf is also very supple and thus makes for comfortable shoes and boots. However, additional information on this leather is hard to find.
Therefore, I would like to ask you some questions about your experience with this material; it would be a great help to me if you could attempt to answer them.

- How water resistant is the lama calf leather? Does it require frequent application of shoe cream (or even wax) to stop water infiltration? Do you wear these boots in light or moderate rain? Or do you avoid wearing them under such conditions?

- How resistant is the leather to scuffing? Do you scuff the shoes easily, for instance on an office chair? Are the scuffs easy to brush/polish out or do they remain very visible?

- How resistant is the leather to nicks and cuts? I'm mainly asking this because I read that Enzo Bonafe won't do Norvegese stitching on lama calf since it is apparently not strong enough. Also, the review by "Jamais vulgaire" mentions that it is a "slightly fragile" leather without going into more detail.

- How matte or shiny is the leather naturally (just by brushing - without the application of a mirror shine)? Do you find the leather easy to pair with jeans and chinos or is it better paired with dress trousers?

The reason I'm asking all of this is because I'm contemplating to purchase a pair of derby boots in this material.
These boots are to be paired with jeans and chinos and will be worn for all kinds of business casual to casual purposes, from going to the office to walking on unpaved countryside roads.
With the help of your answers, I can decide whether lama calf is fit for this purpose or whether I'm better off choosing a sturdier leather (thinking of Tempesti Elbamatt in this case).

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Anyone know if Meermin's Custom Boot event is happening this year? Looks like it was Jan / Feb last few years so wondering if I somehow missed it.

Also, what has been everyone's experience with their Chelsea boots? Any particular thoughts on styling/ fit?

I have two pairs of their Chelseas. The difficulty is that they have a very broad set of offering so it’s hard to decide which is the one for you!

I have snuff suede with dainite soles which have seen quite a bit of wear and have held up well.

I also have black calf with comfort rubber soles which I wore out of the shop and took no breaking in. These are quite versatile and can be worn with suits or jeans.

Thanks this is helpful. I've got my eye on the classic black calfs as well. How have you found Hiro last to fit? Consensus seems to be on narrow end of TTS with some taking 0.5 size up.

I have six pairs of Meermins - the two chelseas, jump boots, three hole derbies, polo suede pennys and formal black calf slippers. All are 7.5 regardless of last (I’m usually 8.5 US).

The only time I tried a different size was when they did a MTO on unlined loafers. On the advice of ‘Meermin’ who used to post on this thread I ordered two pairs and sized down. When they were finally delivered they were so small I could barely get my feet in. Should have sized UP. A $500 mistake and both are for sale on eBay now.
