Great quality shoes for an unbeatable price
I've always liked Meermin for the quality shoes they offer, and for a very decent price that is. It's hard to find Goodyear welted wholecut chelseas like the ones from Meermin anywhere else. Delivery is very fast and always nicely packaged. Information on their lasts, materials and sizing are always clear, they are very transparant about it which is excellent. Never had any surprises when ordering a pair.
I ordered the wrong size
I ordered the wrong size, but the refund process was very easy.
Very pleased with the shoes so far
Based on the very limited time that I have had these shoes (I've only worn them for a few hours so far), I like them a lot, and assuming that they break in reasonably well, these are likely to become my go to shoes, replacing my paraboot Adonis and J.M. Weston 180s. I would probably have to go back to New York and try on additional models, because when I was in the store, I found that different models of the same last could fit significantly differently. For example, the suede shoe in the same model, size, and last as the waxed leather model that I purchased fit significantly differently than the shoes I bought. Also, I would like to suggest that Meermin not use Veho again as their shipper. As far as I can recall, only two vendors have ever used veho to ship items to me, and both times the drivers were totally unprofessional in their delivery. Whereas I rarely, if ever, have problems with the numerous deliveries I receive from FedEx and UPS, on both occasions I received packages via veho, notwithstanding that I gave specific instructions that the packages were not to be left outside of our condo building, in both instances, the delivery personnel left the packages on the public sidewalk in front of our condo building and did not bother to contact me on the intercom or my cell phone, in which case I could've let them into the building.

These are the best value shell cordovan boots out there. Well made, and comfortable.
I have been disappointed by the quality
I have been disappointed by the significant gap between the pics on the web page and reality once I received the shoes.. Although they claim the quality should be superior due to direct sale , that is not the case.. In top of it the shoes shape is was not really sleek as shown in the picture.. I had to return.. At least the return process worked …
Exchange was simple and done in a week
Exchange was simple and done in a week, In fact from the time I ordered everything received it, sent an item back and got an exchange less than 2 weeks. Outstanding! The shoes I love them and my belt.
Ordering process was easy
Ordering process was easy, order arrived on time, shoes fit and look great. Excellent value, high quality product.
Shoes are excellent quality and were…
Shoes are excellent quality and were delivered and packaged well. I’m perhaps in between sizes, so I’d posit the shoes run just a bit large relative to other brands. Not sure if going down a half size would have been too small or just right. With inserts it fits well enough.

The employee was very helpful and got me the correct size for my loafers. I was in and out in about 15 minutes, very efficient service.
Although the shoes did not fit my feet
Although the shoes did not fit my feet, I appreciated the quality of the shoes and the ease of return.
I took a leap!
I saw these suede loafers recommended on an IG video. I was looking for a shoe like this and I took a leap! Though skeptical, I followed their sizing recommendations. I ALWAYS wear an 11. Anyway, they came within 5 days of ordering and they are excellent! They fit like slippers, look fabulous and the suede and sole are amazing. Will be purchasing more shoes from these folks!
Fast delivery
Top marks across the board
Asked for some advice regarding sizing, the reply was quick and cordial. I ultimately followed their advice and the fit is perfect. Delivery was fast and offered precise tracking throughout the whole process. Shoes are well made and the leather is beautiful, nearly impossible to think you could get a better deal for this price point.
Really easy process to return shoes
Really easy process to return shoes. Ordered one size too small and was easily able to send them back and get the correct size. The shoes themselves are fabulous! Way better in person than you can see from images online.
