Hi!
Comfort - if you ask about cushion, these have rather thick foamy insoles, so they are ok to walk.
Have nothing to complain about quality. I would definitely take them into account when buying some CP-like sneakers stuff.

Can anyone compare sizing on Velasca loafer to Meermin? I ordered a Velasca Ost in 41.5 and it is way too small, in Meermin i wear Ron Last in 8E (UK). Wondering is I should size up to 42 or 42.5, in general i need loafers to be snug to not slip off. Thanks

I went through this thread and I'm wondering if you guys still think Velasca is a good value. I'm considering the Velasca Artista ankle boots and the price is on par with Meermin's offerings. Based on the photos, I like the styling of the Velasca more but what concerns me is that the quality appears to have gone downhill since the company first started. As others have pointed out earlier in this thread, it has gone from blake rapid to blake, the stitching is no longer laid in a channel, and it has a lower SPI count.

Codes are often shared, but if it is just a code for previous customers, I can understand the dilemma. I'd love the code as been meaning to try the brand, but wouldn't want you to share if you're uncomfortable with it!

Love them. They're obviously a paraboot knockoff but that's fine with me, no more so than bronco is a take on Alden and Resegott is another Paraboot hiking boot. Theyre doing a nice job recreating classics more affordably, imo.

A month ago or so I got a pair of the Honchos in brown. Despite the fact they were sold out of my size 43 (US10), I ordered them in 42.5 because they looked exactly like what I had been searching for. They arrived, so beautifully packed that it was like opening a Xmas gift. Normally I don’t care about that, but honestly it was so nice, I had to show my girlfriend. ?

The shoes are absolutely perfect, I wear them nearly every day. Really well made, and incredibly comfortable. It seems like sizing down a half size worked out for the best! What luck!
