Niiiiice, stealing that for my next pair.

"anybody got a pair of these? real life pics?"

@Quadcammer - It look a lot like the pair of oxfords on the Olfe last in Vegano brown i just posted ?

 

[tomee]

any have the size of the lasts for Mermin?

My Ama wholecuts and Ama single monks arrived today (classic line).

First impressions: I'm not wholly comfortable with the AMA wholecuts because the last is a wider one and makes them look quite bulbous - not too dissimilar to the capital last on the Loake 1880 Aldwych. It could be an optical illusion as well because the colour is black - sadly, the only colour in that style at the moment.

Note: I think it's more that my Charcoal suit needs to be lengthened [trouser]. I'll wear them indoors tomorrow evening (too tired now), with my Nicole Fahri brown wool trousers that have been tailored to just above half the heel and feedback.

I really, really like the single monks, which surprised me. Even though, yet again, only available in black, and on the AMA last, they are much more eloganted and elegant than the wholecuts.

Shoe trees to be shipped separately (no shipping cost) because Meermin were out of stock in the UK10.

Sizing: I've only tried the Rain last on a pair of Carmina wholecuts, and the Ama wholecuts but especially the single monks are a very snug fit (width) in a UK10. In fact, a little too snug. On the whole, they fit, but I'd be worried if a more narrower last was used.

I'll post pictures when I get home.

Thanks for the update! Seems like the Ama is narrower than the Hiro last?

I dont get that as Meermin say exactly the opposite ???? They run narrow to wide left to right !!

 

[Quadcammer]

so does anybody know if they make different widths on the same last?

I think they do, but you would have to go MTO for that.

From what I understand, the Ama last has more room/leather in the toebox, but tapers more severely to the point, meaning that your mileage may vary depending on your foot shape.

Mine was next day although pepe hasn't replied to my emails yet for the past few days so maybe they are busy

What do you think about the suede monks having a full rubber sole??

From what I understand the Ama has more room in the instep and wider part of the foot but tapers through the toebox. I've read a lot of people complaining about the the thightness of the toebox from the Ama, but I haven't read anything alike about the Hiro.

Apologies for the light. Artificial light, taken with a 2004 Casio Exilim (well past it's sell by date - not bad during daylight but night shots are almost impossible to take without blurring).

I'm loading images onto a Men's forum - shoes, not Riko Tachibana! WTH ...

I've just read the first 34 pages. Very intrigued. I was close to buying some Sèptieme Largeur, but I think I'll be better off with these, even the classic line -- I really need to build up my wardrobe, I currently just have one pair of C&J's Edgware. So, what I wanted to ask is whether there will be a sale (and when)?
