sartorialdoctrine: I have to say that when I first heard about Spanish shoe manufacturer Meermin I was quite skeptic. Shoes made in China aren’t usually of very high quality so when Pepe of Meermin kindly sent me a pair to review I instantly became pretty excited. I have worn the shoes for a couple of days now and I have to say that I’m pretty impressed, although the comfort wasn’t great when I first wore them I’m starting to break them in now and they feel a lot better. This is where I usually notice a difference between budget and high-end manufacturers, e.g. Crockett & Jones are a bit more comfortable at first wear. The beautiful cognac grain leather is incredibly nice at this price point, I have a couple of budget shoes since before and they aren’t even near in terms of leather quality. How they will age is probably too early to tell, but it looks very promising. I also really like that the shoes feature a durable leather sole(Dainite-ish), it makes them more wearable during winter or when it’s wet outside and adds a nice ruggedness to the shoes. Swedish winter isn’t easy on your leather soles, these shoes will definitely come in handy.The last is also pretty nice, it’s pretty wide and the classic rounded toe is easy on the eyes. I would have preferred a more trimmed waist though, they look a bit clumsy from certain angles. However, at this price point it’s probably hard since it requires a higher grade of craftsmanship. My overall impression is that the shoes are very price worthy, you probably can’t get better shoes at around 150€. Sure, there are some minor cons, e.g. the welt does look like it was made in a hurry at some places so they could need better quality control. So if you’re looking for decent goodyear welted shoes that aren’t too expensive you should check Meermin out, their range is great so you can probably find something that you like.
