Meermin Mallorca Shoes

What other business have pricing policies like this?

Pretty much every business that handles distribution in multiple currency areas.

Yanko is the same price or more than Carmina to the US right now. Carmina is about $335 +$25 shipping. Yanko is $400+.

In Spain Yanko tends to be a bit less expensive, but the final price for both (Yanko and Carmina) depends on final sales prices each year. If anyone is interested I am selling a pair of Yanko shoes through marketplace. Bought them for me and never really fitted (a bit small). I think I didnt even wore them on the street... USD 89.

I also saw in these threads that some people make bulk orders of shoes to get a discount. I wonder why not finding someone to buy directly for you guys in Madrid, because some shoes might be on sale and be a lot cheaper; maybe it is just specific models but it might be a pretty good saving. In Spain I think Carmina is perceived as expensive for the quality, which is really good, but still expensive as there are so many option. Spain produces high quality shoes; there are many brands.

I also wonder how Berwick, Barrats or Lottusse are perceived in the US, if available..

in my opinion you can't compare Carmina with other spanish brands, Carmina use the best materials, including Hoween Cordovan.
I compare Carmina quality with Alden not with Barrats, Yanko or Lotusse.

most business dealing with multiple currency's just adjusts the price based on a currency calculation. Meermin may not be run by the best business men but i suppose these shoe companies aren't huge entities so who cares i guess.

Guys I received my faux galways. I am happy to report that at first visual inspection there does not seem to be any issues except for the awful smell of glue that is noticeable inside of the shoes. I do not know if any of you guys sensed this but my boots smell awful. I do not know why Meermin needed to use glue? I thought that fur lining was to be stitched. Anyways I hope this smell will disappear after while.

I want to thank @DavidLane to organize this. It was noble effort. David unfortunately I cannot take a really nice pictures but here is the shot of Norwegese stitching and to my untrained eye it seems to have been executed flawlessly on both boots.

I also want to thank Meermin for agreeing to do this but it is clear that Meermin still needs to work on QC issues.

I've been wearing my Galways for almost two weeks now. There was a little discomfort in the heel at first, especially if laced too tightly, but I've found that with wear and the right tightness on the laces, they fit well. They're actually surprisingly comfortable in contrast to my other Meermins.
I've put saphir renovateur and creme polish on them twice because of walking around in snow and salt covered sidewalks and they look better than the shoes when they were new. The shearling is very warm and I feel comfortable in thin socks. I've found that the Ridgeway soles are incredibly rigid and will probably last a long time and endure a lot, but don't have much give and probably won't break in much.
Overall, I think these were pulled off very well, thank you @DavidLane and Meermin.

I'll post pictures later.

Could someone please help me with sizing for the RON last? I'm planning on purchasing the MTO Burgundy Penny loafer bit am unsure what size to get. I usually wear a 42 and recently purchased the LM Museum Calf Double Monks on the Park last in UK size 8 and they seem to fit relatively well (though a little bit tight on my little toe). I've read in an earlier page that sizing down half a size is recommend for loafers?

I sized down half for the Ron (10.5UK in Hiro to 10UK in Ron) and think it was the right call.

Got a fraud meermin email this morning. It's so obviously fraud that I doubt anyone will go for it, but in case it hasn't been mentioned here, thought I should let you know.
