Shoes had some small scratches on the bottoms and a few imperfections in the leather. The box top was torn in two quarters and they were taped back together. I wondered if I actually received someone... See more

Just bought but seem to be very good quality and look great. I went half a size down and they fit perfectly
Great loafers
Disappointing.
I ordered 102635 - BLACK FREUDENBERG shoes which are advertised to have JR soles. The shoes the were sent to me do not have JR soles. Clearly JR soles are a premium sole and I was disappointed that this switch was made. If JR soles are no longer available it should have been removed from the product description and specs on the website.

Knowledgeable staff and (exceedingly!!) comfortable shoes that look great and genuinely feel great. A very positive experience; i look forward to being able to purchase more.

Found a pair of shoes which fit reasonably well for my wide feet!
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.
Beautiful and classy loafers
Beautiful and classy loafers. Comfortable right out of the box. Quality made. No doubt.

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

Customer service responded very quickly and added an item to my existing order. Outstanding service. Have not received order will see if they followed through.
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.

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?
