I've had these for two years now and here are my thoughts. This is my last review of my Meermin shoes.

I own 5 pairs of Meermin. I found that they are "cheap" and quite tough. Been wearing them for a couple of years and even though I could mention a few flaws, I wouldn't pay a higher price for shoes like these. In particular since I live in Denmark, a place where it rains a lot, and I cycle to work so I wouldnt risk damaging a 400$ pair of shoes like..Carmina for example.

I don't think they are cheap, they are great value for the money and the materials they use are of very good quality. You get what you pay for.

Also consider Loake 1880. They have a nice department in Sweden called Like Nordic, so quick delivery in DK. I thonk I bought my Laxford Legacy's for 2.700 DKK including shoe trees.

Why are peoplee complaining about creasing on leather shoes? I just don't get it. Th only shoes that don't crease are made of vinyle you can get from Walmart. Why not give those a try?
@hemigod2Ай бұрын
If you proper;y take care quality top grain ,the creases easily come out when tree’d. as you know real leather is a skin. If you properly nourish it you’re almost pretty much keeping it alive . A top quality, luxury shoe should look and feel brand new every time you put it. I Thrifted a pair from the 1920s that behaves exactly like this. You can only tell that it’s a late Victorian shoe by its shape as the shoe shapes more like a foot and they don’t make shoes like that these days even bespoke you have to pay a lot of money to get them made that way .. but anyway Once a tree was put in it, the and the skin properly nourished,it looked like it just came off the showroom floor..

I learned a long time ago, by having many pairs of shoes, whether it’s dress shoes or sneakers, my shoes seldom wear out bc o rotate the shoes and not wear the same shoes and wear down. Unless they are work shoes that I don’t care of them and only wear for work

Hey Tyler, may I know how long the break in period was? Considering a pair of wholecut Oxfords/Chelseas and Balmoral boots
@qb1015 жыл бұрын
The break-in for the whole-cuts was the shortest at about three work days. The oxfords were the longest at around ten work days. The double monk straps took five or six work days.

I'm surprised the one shoe needed resoling from walking over a pebble and the second shoe seems to have a tear on the sole as well. These soles don't seem to be quality/durable soles. I don't recall ever having a tear on any shoe ever. Have other folks experienced tears on their leather soles ? What brand were the shoes? thanks!

Great video Tyler! Did you used them in rainy days also? How did they behave in rainy conditions? I am thinking to buy a pair from Meermin but I am not convinced by the leather outsole. Thing is, I had some leather outsole shoes in the past and they all got the same problem: after some time of wearing in rainy conditions, the outsole started to swell and finally the it started to scratch and humidity entered into the shoe which made them useless. It was then when I switched to rubber outsole shoes and I have never looked back since. They seem to be way less prone to scratching and I can use them in rainy conditions with no problems. However, entry level luxury shoes (and higher) are always made with leather outsole.

So, a couple of things. These have performed well in the wet. I don't spend significant time out in the rain or jumping in puddles with them on, but they have done well. If you are going to experience a significant amount of rain, I would recommend getting a pair of over-shoes. They are rubber covers that work great and are super cheap ($5 on Amazon). They are easy to put on and take off and they add a ton of life to the shoe. Plus, when you get where you are going you can take them off and your shoes are still shiny, clean, and looking great.
@schlettistvan86166 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much Tyler! I will probably follow your advice. I am thinking about Meermin also, but I am a little bit concerned because they are actually made in China and assembled at some extent in Spain. However they seem to be of very good quality.

@austinwanner4494 жыл бұрын
Pa Tek while the comment is technically correct, as shell cordovan doesnt crease, its also the single most expensive leather out there. the vast majority of leather shoes will crease. its not a bad thing. avoid leather that are overly finished, because those crease the ugliest, and look terrible after only a few wears. same thing applies to patent leather or other overly finished leathers.
