Great quality: both shoes and staff
The support staff is very responsive and friendly, they go above and beyond to help. Every question I had was answered, and every concern addressed. I never had full leather dress shoes before, and the support staff at Meermin made the process very easy.
The shoes are great quality for the price. The break in period is a little rough, but that's expected for real, full leather shoes. I have two pairs now, and I plan to get more.

Lovely products, not great service at their Madrid store on Salamanca.
Lovely products. However the saleswomen at the shop could at least offer a smile. I was the only one in the shop and she couldn’t be bothered to smile and stayed behind the countered.
When asked to try on pair of shoes, only offered one. Understand if she was busy. Not great service.
On the other hand the products are great.

I feel the site should have been honest about the women's shoes being an actual man shoe in a smaller size. Very misleading

Hello Taunesha, thank you for sharing your feedback.
Not sure where the size misunderstanding originated, but the loafer purchased in size 10.5UK is part of our men’s collection and has never been part of our women’s range.
Our customer service team is always happy to help with sizing guidance and product selection before purchase, and we would have gladly assisted in finding the most suitable option.
Thank you for your support & please feel free to reach out to us if we can support you further. Thank you.

Painless process
Clean website, speedy order fulfillment, simple return process. I am thoroughly satisfied.

Excellent service and experience overall
Good shoes, brutal to break into but its my first leather. Was shocked to see Made in China sticker at bottom of sole, but apparently they do only a small portion of the process in there and do the finishing in Spain. Arrived very quickly too, hopefully its great reputation holds up!

Very poor experience.
EDIT: after some back and forth, seller agreed to send refund without me having to ship item back to Europe. But item is still of poor quality especially for the price. It had only been used very lightly in an office setting.
Very poor experience.
This 'shell cordovan' belt started turning white after only light use in office settings. It was not abused, worn hard, or exposed to unusual conditions. For something sold as black shell cordovan, this is far below what should be expected.
The worst part was customer service. Their solution was essentially to tell me that this was normal and that I should buy or apply black shell cordovan pomade and fix it myself. That is not an acceptable response to a recently purchased premium item. If a belt needs recoloring after minimal office wear, that is not normal wear, it is a product failure.
Premium pricing, disappointing quality, and a dismissive after-sales response.

Reply from Meermin Shoes
Dear Hendrik, thank you for your message.
As discussed, shell cordovan is a leather that can develop surface marks that in some cases appear as lightening with use, which are typically reversible with appropriate care.
As your purchase was made in our Paris store and you are currently based in the Philippines, we are unfortunately unable to arrange collection from your location. We did offer to cover return shipping within Europe, should that have been an option.
To ensure you are fully satisfied, we worked to find a practical solution given the circumstances and have initiated the refund process without requiring the item to be returned.
We appreciate your support and hope to serve you again in the future.
I received 2 right foot shoes
I received 2 right foot shoes. One from the pair I ordered and the other is a brown suede tassel loafer. How can I receive what I ordered?

Great range of sizing options and high quality shoes!
I love that they have such a wide range of sizes and that many of their shoes are unisex! The FAQs and detailed info on the lasts were also super helpful as a first time Goodyear welt shoe buyer. The buying and shipping experience was seamless, and the product has been incredible so far! I bought a pair of boots that were sleek and comfortable right out of the box (I had bought similar shoes from a competitor to compare and ended up returning the other pair because Meermin’s was so much more comfortable) and a pair of loafers with the softest leather. I’ve already gotten lots of compliments on my shoes. Thank you, Meermin!

Found small sizes (6US/ 4.5 UK) Helpful storekeeper
Beautiful shop with a classy collection. The shopkeeper was very kind, clear, and helpful! Was looking for small sizes like a US 6M/ UK 4.5 and found the perfect pair. Amazing prices for high quality service and products!
