    I love, love, LOVE your channel. Perhaps you could do a "best made" for womens brands…i feel like so many womens casual shoes are garbage…

  2. Mike Hutchison on June 4, 2020 at 5:43 am

    I have two pairs of Meermin double-monks. I showed them to my local cobbler, and he said, "Only $200! Buy as many as you can afford!"

  3. Mark Mahan on June 4, 2020 at 5:43 am

    Guys, great video as always. I have three pairs of Meermins, two of them are from their regular collection and are of average quality, as you say, fair value for what you’re paying. The third pair is from their Line Maestro collection, is hand lasted and the quality is definitely a few steps up, worth more than the €260 I paid a few years ago. Once you discover shoes of higher quality, like Carmina, Cobbler Union, Carlos Santos, TLB Mallorca or Justin Fiztpatrick you tend to leave Meermin behind.

    Would have liked to see the shoes with the sole protectors on. And are they harder to put on a shoe with closed Chanel stitching .

  5. ncooty on June 4, 2020 at 5:45 am

    Normal-speak: "for around $200"
    Sales-speak: "for around the $200 price point"

  6. Pope on June 4, 2020 at 5:46 am

    I own a pair for a year now, theyre very good for the cheap price

  7. Noel Ortiz on June 4, 2020 at 5:46 am

    Is there a reason for the two different size brushes? Saphir Horse Hair Brush vs Saphir Horse Hair Palm Brush.

  8. Ray Benaza on June 4, 2020 at 5:47 am

    Gentleman, I have a couple pairs of Meermin shoes (one unworn the other slightly worn). Both are a half size too small for me which is why I don’t wear them. I’m willing to trade for a couple of recrafts (maybe a pair of my To Boot New York monkstraps and Wolverine 1000 mile boots) that could use some love. Let me know and it would be great to see you crack open some Meermins and To Boot New York’s on your videos!

    Beautiful shoes

  10. Patti Murphy on June 4, 2020 at 5:49 am

    Does all the leather souls make a tapping noise when men walk?…I really don’t like because it reminds me of a women’s sounding shoe.

  11. Kevin Miller on June 4, 2020 at 5:49 am

    Dollar for dollar which is a better overall shoe maker Meermin or Beckett Simonon?

  12. Carlos Marrero on June 4, 2020 at 5:49 am

    Size 6 1/2? Must belong to Leslie Chow…

  13. Dico on June 4, 2020 at 5:51 am

    The leather is from a French tannery.

  14. Nachtwaechter Schlafprodukte on June 4, 2020 at 5:52 am

    Just got a pair and disappointment is great as all those reviews, except that here, doesnt tell you its made in China. Shipping back and forth to China is the opposite of taking care of climate change

  15. Higher Awareness33 on June 4, 2020 at 5:53 am

    It would have been nice to see what you did with these shoes too. Your audience has a greater attention span than you think.

  16. Dee Pee on June 4, 2020 at 5:55 am

    I have 6 pairs of Meermins and my only real complaint is that they take forever to break in and tear your feet up in the process. But they’re built like tanks and the leather is very sturdy.

  17. THE HEALTHY HAPPY HELPER on June 4, 2020 at 5:57 am

    Translation: this is just us knit picking 😆, and it’s a nice shoe.

  18. Christopher Carr on June 4, 2020 at 5:58 am

    You have over 100k viewers just buy he shoes as a cost of the channel and do full reviews 🤦🏼‍♂️

  19. World Traveller on June 4, 2020 at 6:01 am

    I went retail Meermin store today in Paris.They only had boots in size 12.They told me it fits narrow.

  20. MikeyMoe on June 4, 2020 at 6:03 am

    Love the insight! Awesome videos.

  21. SandyRiverBlue on June 4, 2020 at 6:03 am

    Wow, for the price these are really great. I also love that they don’t have an Amazon store. Their website is so well-wrought and easy to use I’m curious about what their CRM looks like.

  22. Diosdado Santiago on June 4, 2020 at 6:07 am

    If its made in China…NO.

  23. DEXVD on June 4, 2020 at 6:07 am

    I know this is an older video but would love to hear the comparison of Meermin and Carmina in shoe construction and quality.

  24. Carlos Vidal on June 4, 2020 at 6:08 am

    compared to allen edmonds which is a best value of these two brands? Between carmina and ferragamo which has the best leather ?

  25. Mr. Unknown on June 4, 2020 at 6:10 am

    Like Carmina? I own both brands and C&J. Carmina plays in the league of Northampton shoemaking, not in Meermin’s Designed-in-Spain-Made-in-China one. Also breaking into a Meermin is one of the most painful experiences you’ll get (shoewise). They look fantastic to the naked eye.

  26. c mac on June 4, 2020 at 6:11 am

    I’m sending you guys a pair of meermin oxfords to resole

  27. Karen Kate Harder on June 4, 2020 at 6:11 am

    Hi

    I hope you can review Grenson G Two collection 😊

  28. Roger R. on June 4, 2020 at 6:12 am

    can i take out the insole of my white’s boots?

  29. Clinton Turner on June 4, 2020 at 6:13 am

    What do you think about the SAS shoes?

  30. Michael Barrientos on June 4, 2020 at 6:13 am

    I live in Madrid and bought a pair of full brogue wingtip oxfords at their store here: they’re fantastic. Cost €170 (about $192). Well made, look good, comfortable, shine up nicely. Getting a pair of loafers soon for summer. Oddly, they have more styles & colors available on their website than in the actual store.

  31. Martin Köhne on June 4, 2020 at 6:13 am

    Great video!! Can you please review some British brands such as Cheaney, Trickers or C&J?

  32. sheen on June 4, 2020 at 6:15 am

    I do have 3 pairs of Meermin. Price/quality ratio is very good. They are a bit hard to break in 🙂 and for me they are bit hard to wear (oxford and monks) but their boots are very comfortable for me.

  33. Jolly Pig & Super Pig on June 4, 2020 at 6:15 am

    China?

  34. Walter Donaldson on June 4, 2020 at 6:15 am

    Have they reviewed Meermin Chelsea boots at all?

  35. rishikesh jadhav on June 4, 2020 at 6:20 am

    It just don’t have attention to details but quality is top notch …And after paying 200 bucks who’s complaining ?

  36. machfive916 on June 4, 2020 at 6:20 am

    Not my style of shoe, but a good video nonetheless.

  37. Chriss Gaddy on June 4, 2020 at 6:22 am

    I have a pair of the Black Calf -E, they look great but they are not the most comfortable. They hurt my feet after a few hours of work.

  38. firebearfl on June 4, 2020 at 6:26 am

    Wow, maybe I should cancel my order for Beckett Simonon?

  39. Gary Conrad on June 4, 2020 at 6:27 am

    I am impressed they make a few EEE sizes which are very hard to find. When the virus scare lessons I will celebrate by buying my first pair of Meermin shoes. Thanks for the videos I am learning more and more about fine shoes.

  40. Keegan Power on June 4, 2020 at 6:29 am

    I wear black oxford meermins almost daily, and they look brand new still. Outstanding quality

  41. Tan Frankie on June 4, 2020 at 6:31 am

    I bought 3 pair of Meermin shoe. Honestly after 6 months, I wish i only had bought 1 pair. The build quality is so bad. One pair had the shoe lace broken on the same sport 3 times. The shoe squeak by just moving your toes. Don’t even have to walk in it. There are strings left on the weld. And the sole is not even smooth out. I mean the build quality is so bad. For the same price point, go for Thursday Boots shoe. They are much better build. In fact 300% better.

    BUYER BEWARE. WARNING! https://www.trustpilot.com/review/meermin.es #meermin #meerminmallorca

  43. PrimeNumber19 on June 4, 2020 at 6:32 am

    Two brands you should check out are oak street boot makers and rancourt. Both are expensive made in American shoe companies.

  44. Unpluglvfree on June 4, 2020 at 6:33 am

    Guy has small feet

  45. ali butt on June 4, 2020 at 6:33 am

    Hey guys, what are you’re reviews about Berwick?

  46. Christian Espino on June 4, 2020 at 6:37 am

    Maaan i am so hooked on your channel. True honest reviews. Might learn to be a shoe cobbler. Inspirational. Keep up the great work gents.👊

  47. karate forte on June 4, 2020 at 6:38 am

    Why do you have fox and friends host in your review section?

  48. Jimmy on June 4, 2020 at 6:38 am

    I enjoy all your videos, you make me deciding to buy a nice leather shoe or boot on line but I need your help because I live in Canada . After contacting Allen Edmonds and others , I knew that they stop shipping to Canada. Have you any idea to get lovely leather shoe ( I have to attend a wedding in September) thank you so much guys

  49. Frederico Pereira on June 4, 2020 at 6:38 am

    Hey! Would love a review of a Maestro line from them. Which are hand-welted! And the price point jumps to the lower to mid 300+.

  50. Raymond Lee on June 4, 2020 at 6:39 am

    Review a pair of Crockett & Jones or Edward Green?
