Look what showed up finally ?

First pair of Meermin for me. No major flaws, however the there are nicks and scratches all of the shell. Most should brush out so doesn't bother me too much. Probably the last pair for me but they're alright. I got them mostly because I love jumpers and the color intrigued me. I went TTS. They're a tad long but 1/2 down would have been tight for me so this is the best fit I'm going to get. And not sure why but laces are way too short for me.

Is this the custom boot MTO due in August? They look great. I'm expecting my olive shell in the same pattern.

These look really good. Congrats. I’m in for this order too so maybe they’re on the way soon.

Thanks. I hope you get them soon.

Yeah the color is really nice.

I am not sure when they were due exactly but these were from beginning of May.

They were due in July, people started getting them then but looks like they're still going out.

Selling mine in size 6.5UK by the way, no flaws and unworn/uncreased for $450 shipped. They're very nice but I picked up the cigar shells from the sale and they overlap with my Carmina burgundy shells too much. PM if interested, will put up some pictures later.

I have 2 pairs of shell from Meermin and the laces were way too short. Thought it was just me.

Probably a different MTO then. I think the custom boot event ran for just one weekend. My order was placed June 22 and it says estimated August 2020.

Yeah they're ridiculously short. I had to buy some 54" laces. Might seem trivial but it's $5-10 extra.

What laces did you end up getting? These are my first(and second) pair of cordovan boots and trying to decide what laces to get.
