From the moment I walked in I was greeted and when I explained that I was looking for a loafer and that I had a wide foot, he showed me a few options that would work best for me. He also told me about the company and where they are made and their philosophy. I was very impressed and will be back.

I had a very positive experience with Meermin. The delivery was on time and completely hassle-free. The quality of the shoes is excellent — they fit well and are very comfortable to walk in. You can really feel the craftsmanship. I’m genuinely very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend them.

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.

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.

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 …

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.
