Meermin is a Chinese brand from which is the lower end of Albaladejo and Carmina, a Spanish made brand from Mallorca. They have a very high-end production. It's not cheap by any means. They have heritage, nice styling, beautiful leathers, and great construction.

This brand is fairly popular across the menswear space. Overall, their shoes look more expensive than they are.

01:06 Linea Maestro - Merrmin's higher-end model. This is a hand welted shoe which is something you would never find in this price category.
02:12 Brown Suede Penny Loafer - Goodyear welted shoe, you have like a gem band that is glued into it's sole so weld can hold.

With a such a range of high quality products and unbeatable prices Meermin might be the best all around for dress shoes

I was waiting for this video for so long and finally it's here! Great video. One of the best channels!

Meermin is my go-to work/office shoe. Have 5 pairs of them and all of them have held up nicely over the years with regular shoe maintenance.

LOVE these reviews, this is certainly the Gentleman's Gazette at its best. Keep up the great work guys!

I have about 30 pairs of dress shoes in my collection, including Allen Edmonds, Alden, and Crockett & Jones. The Meermin captoe oxfords are my most comfortable.

[villegas]

For the price, Meermin is a no-brainer for me

[eddietheginga]

Raphaels insights and knowledge is impeccable

Just bought a pair of shearling captoe boots in chocolate from Meermin. They were the only warm winter dress boots I could find online that looked good, and they're pretty comfortable. If they hold up well, they'll probably be my favorite pair of footwear, as they're super versatile.
Only problem is the left boot seems to be lighter and less shiny than the right, but I'm sure polish can fix that.

Thank you for dividing up the video this was very helpful!

[andersniemi]

Lol I wasn't too familiar with the brand but I liked the way the shoes looked so I clicked and was truly surprised when I learned they were in the $300 range

[amadejpesko]

You told everything you need to know. Great.

[bradle]

Does the leather quality differ in the lineo maestro line? How do they compare to say Allen Edmonds?

[SGM-]

I purchased meermin's balmoral boxcalf flex good-year welted boots and wore them everyday for a couple of hours at home and placed tight fitting shoe trees in them to break them in. It's been two weeks and it still needs some breaking in. To be honest, just because of that, I would pay a higher price for another brand that would take a shorter break in period. Everytime I change shoes before I leave home (and that is after two hours of wearing them around the house) just because I would like to walk normally. It even irritates me sometimes when I am putting them on. And I am actually one of those people who would sometimes compromise comfort for style, but I gave up on this one. However, they are a decent pair of boots! I will continue to break them in around the house until I could walk in them more properly.

Many thanks for this great and really appreciated content. Meermin has indeed amazing shoes in its higher end line. Cheers.

[jeffhreid]

I will definitely check them out. I recently purchased a pair of cap toe Oxfords from Bridlen . I’d be interested in your take on that company

[douglong]

I recently ordered a Meermin cap to oxford in the G fit as I have wide feet. It was a very nice looking shoe and appeared to be well built for the price.. Unfortunately the sizing runs very small. The shoes were virtually impossible to put on and so I returned them.

[carbonado]

I wear Whites boots that are old fashioned hand welted firefighting/logger boots made is USA. I dont really know what the difference is in feel on my feet at all, but I know I like 'em.

[MeSayus]

Does anyone know how to go about sizing for Meermin's loafers (particularly for their unlined range)?
