When it comes to Meermin, what is your first impression? Price killer? Although there is nothing wrong, I think it is a bit underestimating the brand. Through paying attention to it year by year, I think its core competitiveness now lies in leather.

I was very into shell cordovan long time ago as if Goodyear shoes can accompany you for a long time, shell cordovan shoes can last your entire life if not your descendant’s’.
After I owned several pairs, shell cordovan lost its glamour. It is not because the durability disappeared, but I don’t care durability that much and even Goodyear shoes can meet even exceed my expectation.
On the other hand, breaking in of shell cordovan shoes is even bitter than calf shoes. Shell cordovan is not appraised for its close pores and bad breathability.
Till today, I have three pairs of shell cordovan shoes, and they are made of different shell cordovan leathers by different shoemaker, and serviced for various years, and they are all in colour 8, sometimes called cordovan colour. It is a great idea to see how shell cordovan ages.

Meermin has great popularity globally as a Spanish brand made in China, everyone recognizes Meermin as one of the best value brands in the market.
The shoes are actually made in Shanghai, China, the “HANDCRAFTED IN SHANGHAI” can be found on lining of tongue.
