I have two pairs of Meermin double-monks. I showed them to my local cobbler, and he said, "Only $200! Buy as many as you can afford!"

[@deepee1452]

I have 6 pairs of Meermins and my only real complaint is that they take forever to break in and tear your feet up in the process. But they’re built like tanks and the leather is very sturdy.

[@quietatse]

Also, they seem to have one width, how did you find that?

[@NoobySammy]

100% Agree, if I can share a break-in hack: Heat up the leather with a blow dryer then sit in them and let them cool back down around your foot. In a sense heat moulding them to your footshape.

[@anteros3584]

@@NoobySammy I must say, I already had 2 pairs of Meermin and about half a year ago I bought my first pair of Thursday boot captains. Yes the Meermins were and still are a bit stiff, but I prefer that to the floppy, soft thing I got when receiving my Thursday boot captains (I have the rugged&resilient version with commando sole so that might have something to do with it).

[@desertknights5003]

They provide soft leather if you want something easy to break into

[@sherwoodwalker573]

Thanks fellas. I bought a pair last October and they take a while to break in.

[@jimpalmer2981]

It's always nice to see and hear people who know what they're talking about review a product. Based on this, I'll definitely keep Meermin in mind if I ever break my Allen Edmonds addiction.

I live in Madrid and bought a pair of full brogue wingtip oxfords at their store here: they're fantastic. Cost €170 (about $192). Well made, look good, comfortable, shine up nicely.

[@jamesw1659]

Great review, Gents. Meermin is fantastic to deal with. Just received a shoe from their “made to order” line, a lined penny loafer in shell cordovan with JR soles. The shoe is no longer offered; I missed it when it was in production. Nonetheless, I asked if they would make me a pair, which they did, and only charged me the original offer price. These came marked as “Linea Maestro”, which is their best line. Exactly as noted here, very best materials throughout, detail craftsmanship is a little rough. But overall, stunning shoes for half the price of competitors. Was thinking of having a master cobbler detail out the soles (radius edges, etc). Oh, and as they are MTO, there are no returns, but in emails back and forth, they said if I wasn’t happy, I could return them. Treated me like I was their most important customer. Fantastic people to do business with, and one heckuva deal.

[@elevatedsupernova]

You are lucky. I bought the country brogues and they are unbearably stiff and heavy. No more Chinese shoes for me.

[@luobomu9747]

@@GordonLF I'm with you, I had a pair of suede oxfords which I sold after just a few days of wear. Incredibly stiff all round, especially the heel, reinforced with super hard plastic that refused to form to my heels. I've owned dozens of "high quality" (traditionally constructed) shoes and they were by far the worst.

[@vindicator75]

Don't make a review on Beckett simonon because you and I will know it will break the Kavaliers heart. Hahahhaha. Meermin >Beckett Simonon

[@WusWrongWitUs]

I have two pairs of the "softcalf" leather loafers...they are unlined..they are softer than most of my sneakers. The insole is only built for the hell for some reason...thats probably the only thing I would change...i will end up with 6 pairs most likely. I can only speak for the soft calf version so far

[@danitch6848]

There are many reviews that meermin leather is very hard and hard to break-on. I think the problem is sizing. I would say that most of meermin lasts runs small at 0.5-1 of the usual English shoemaker size. As an example - hiro in 9UK is absolutely equivalent to C&J 341 last in 8UK(!!!!) in lengh, girth and appearance. The difference is one damn size! I have several pairs and had no problems with break-on. The leather is good quality and is well preserved over time, I would say that it is much better than loake 1880 and similar to trickers calf. These are good shoes even at a regular price, honest construction+materials + smooth appearance.

[@Mikeybikey88]

I noticed this as well. I'm usually 41.5 to 42. With the Meermin Hiro last, I'm a 8.5UK or 42.5EU. So yeah. They are smaller then others but the quality is completely ok for the price.

[@patrickbframe]

Meermin leather on lace-up shoes is hard to break-in(minus their pebbled leather lace-ups). I fully bought the UK sizing 1 size down from the US sizing and they fit great, just took a while to break in.

[@ephantom6825]

Excellent super professional review. Thank you very much. I own a couple of Meermin pairs and I would never be able to tell half of what you explain, but I'm really happy with them. Anyway congratulations for your video.

[@kongmw]

I love my pair of unlined meermin loafers but the edge work on the soles is definitely shoddy 😂

[@markmahan6868]

Guys, great video as always. I have three pairs of Meermins, two of them are from their regular collection and are of average quality, as you say, fair value for what you're paying. The third pair is from their Line Maestro collection, is hand lasted and the quality is definitely a few steps up, worth more than the €260 I paid a few years ago. Once you discover shoes of higher quality, like Carmina, Cobbler Union, Carlos Santos, TLB Mallorca or Justin Fiztpatrick you tend to leave Meermin behind.

[@tianningli747]

Mark Mahan How would you compare Meermin maestro line to the brands you mentioned that are considered higher quality? I heard the maestro line is a bargain since it’s handwelted and has significantly higher quality than its regular lines.

[@markmahan6868]

@@tianningli747 I would say that Meermin's Linea Maestro is top notch, truly well beyond their stock collection quality. The leather uppers are superb, the workmanship is well above average and the soles are JR and seem not to wear out. To say nothing of the excellent fit with a tight waist and really well balanced. Meermin advises to size up half a size as the New Rey last is narrow but I'm not entirely sure that's necessary, depending on the shape of your foot. I have a narrow foot and think that I could have stayed with my normal size. They fit quite well but there's a good size gap between where my big toe ends and the tip of the shoe. None the less they are supremely comfortable.

[@sheen675]

I do have 3 pairs of Meermin. Price/quality ratio is very good. They are a bit hard to break in :) and for me they are bit hard to wear (oxford and monks) but their boots are very comfortable for me.

[@the-G-Man2022]

Very informative and thorough review. I have a pair of oxblood Meermin double monks in my rotation. Thanks guys!

[@TrentonHeath]

Manuel Galang Thank you!

[@Bobbychompers]

I wear black oxford meermins almost daily, and they look brand new still. Outstanding quality

[@stevenroche9874]

Thanks for the professional cobbler's opinion. Meermin is selling Shell Cordovan dress boots for $350 !

[@jawntanamo_bae]

Just a thought because I do like Meermin (especially for the price point), if you get these shoes, wear em till the soles are too gross for you, as long as you take care of the uppers when you get them resoled you can spend like $250 to get a really nice job done and you’re still coming in under Carmina price point

[@petesilvestri]

I have 4 pairs and they’re great shoes, 2 are from the Linea Meastro collection which have hand welted JR soles. The value and quality at these prices are unbeatable.

[@Phal26]

I'm interested in a pair of oxfords from the linea maestro range myself. My hope is that I can take advantage of the many qualities listed in this video and that you mention (value / quality for that price) minus some of the drawbacks as the finishing seems quite a lot better on their top range. How did you find the linea maestros and was the break in period okay for you? I'm still expecting some breaking in period but hopefully not as tough as the mainline as I see that seems to be the main drawback with Meermin. Any feedback appreciated man!

[@mytrung]

Many years later this is still a very under the radar brand. People still looking at newer junk like Taft and Beckett Simonon. Undisputed champ for the price

[@petesilvestri]

@@Phal26 the break in period wasn’t bad. The trick is to find a last that fits your foot. If you’re in the NYC area, I would definitely visit their SOHO location and try on a few pairs. Once you find a last that fits then ordering online will be convenient when they drop a sale. Most shoes are true to your brannock size. Boots can be sized down a half in the HOK last. The DANI last which was the Línea Maestro was a bit narrow around the waist and took some time to break in. Keep in mind every person is different and your experience may differ from mine. With that said if you can find a shoe that fits in your style then this is definitely the brand that offers the best value in my opinion.

[@davidoletep]

Meermin is owned by family members of the Carmina shoemaking family but are separate companies.

[@TrentonHeath]

[@robfulano2552]

Hubby has three pair of Meermins, one of then from their Maestro line. It took him months to break in these shoes.

[@amitshah1498]

Great view. Please consider doing a deep dive on the Gucci horsebit loafers. The Jordaans seem especially popular nowadays and KZbin has a real lack of quality content on them.

[@MrDarkPum]

Hey! Would love a review of a Maestro line from them. Which are hand-welted! And the price point jumps to the lower to mid 300+.

[@nodieusa]

I had a chance to visit Madrid a couple of months ago and went to the Meermin store. I didn't necessarily enjoy how they treated me as a customer and I wasn't really impressed with anything in that store. Walked a few blocks and stumbled upon a Carmina store, what a world of difference. I now own a pair of Carminas and it is by far one of my "prettiest" pairs. The fact that Meermins are made in Shanghai just serve as another reason for me not to spend my money on them. I don't appreciate being cheated and unfortunately I experienced too much of that in Shanghai. Thank you for the content guys and I'd love to see a pair of Beckett Simonons cracked open!

[@TrentonHeath]

nodieusa Thank you for your feedback on Meermin. Customer service can play a BIG part in what brands we like. I know it does with us. Carmina’s are beautiful shoes, and we hope to review these at some point too. A Beckett Simonon review is just around the corner.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks for sharing and following along! The break-in period seems to be something we’re hearing from folks.

[@markalexander774]

I own a couple of pairs of these, and they are not the highest quality shoes in the world, but I would rate them ahead of basically everything in their price range.

[@1061shrink1061]

After Grant Stone, Flame Panda, Yeosal and now Meermin, the craftsmanship of Chinese shoemakers is gradually getting acknowleged in the global shoe market and it has proven itself that Chinese craftmanship can achieve the same quality standard as all the other shoemakers in the world at a lower cost. The hard working and talented shoemakers in China deserve some (if not thesame) respect and recongnition that the shoemakers in the western countries have been given to for a long tim.e

Julio C Thanks for sharing! Yeah, we were definitely impressed for the price point.

[@vindicator75]

I own 4 pairs of Meermin, I think it depends on the last. The Elton last is extremely difficult to break in on the oxfords. The Hiro last on the Chelsea Boot want too bad, I think the suede is easier to break in. My most recent pair is the Ron last on a leather tassel Loafer. I'm still breaking them in, but they seem more comfortable than my oxfords.

[@swzarsa]

Greetings from Japan. I'm a DoD employee working in Okinawa, Japan, and had ordered a pair of Meermin shoes. Unfortunately, a confluence of events has delayed the shoe's arrival. I will caution your viewers living in Japan NOT TO ORDER from Meermin's International website, which had advised me to ship to my local Japanese address instead of the DoD-provided address, purportedly, to "avoid high taxes." Long story short, they shipped the shoes to my Japanese address. Over 4-weeks ago, Japanese customs informed me that the shoes had arrived from "Shanghai" and will cost an additional $96.00 in taxes. I paid $215 for the shoes. Dealing with a language problem (no, not from the Japanese side) was also a problem. Apparently, there are few English speakers on the International Customer Service page because the slew of emails I received when I registered my complaint was that "we're sorry for the inconvenience." Oh, they did as how much the taxes were but did not have any response other than...you guessed it, "we sorry for ..." Truly amazing lack of customer service! P.S. as of 26 September, the pair has still not arrived.

[@ouroboros2285]

Same issue for me for the cash. Don’t know about the shoes not arriving, I definitely haven’t heard good things about meermins customer service 🤷‍♂️

[@swzarsa]

@@ouroboros2285 I sent my Meermin loafers to Potter&Sons. The shoes just started falling apart despite being only 3 months old and worn irregularly. Anyway, they found both soles and heels "misaligned." The total cost of the repair was $180 + $15 for shipping. I paid $195 for them originally.

Hi! Is it possible you could do a video on women's shoes? It would be so helpful to have professionals say what shoes are quality and worth the money.

Like Carmina? I own both brands and C&J. Carmina plays in the league of Northampton shoemaking, not in Meermin's Designed-in-Spain-Made-in-China one. Also breaking into a Meermin is one of the most painful experiences you'll get (shoewise). They look fantastic to the naked eye.
