About to pull the trigger on my first pair of Meermin Longwings in the RUI last: https://eu.meermin.com/products/101375-chestnut-country-calf-e?lang=en&loc=SE

Should I get size 7.5 or 7? Some shoes that fit me well:

Carmina boots (Soller last), 7.5
Carmina derbys (Detroit last), 7
Loake Birkdale derby (bullet last) 7
Loake Aldwych oxford (Capital last) 7.5

Length of foot: 26.4cm

FIY recieved the longwing RUI yesterday, I could barely squeeze my foot in a size 7 lol, they felt at least a whole size too small.

Unfortunately this comes too late but based on the given length of your foot, you really should consider a size UK8. This is already pretty clear from Meermin’s size chart alone. Sometimes it is also worth checking the given Japanese size equivalents when considering the correct size. This helps in perceiving the correct length in particular.

Hehe yea I probably should have :) Anyhow had not seen a pair of Meermin IRL before either so even if they would have fit I might have sent them back due to finishing (which on the other hand maybe should have been expected given the price).

Giving these a try. Fit is not ideal, but they are absolutely beautiful.

Sounds like a 9UK to me as well.

Ok,ok what if I got wide feet ? Just a single E
As far as I know on Hiro, they only offer the European E in width, which is roughly equivalent to a US D. I’ve got wide feet, so I no longer purchase shoes on Hiro. It’s HOK and ROD only for me.

Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to get Meermin to add a medallion to captoe boots?
