Anyone else still not get billed for the Galways yet? I'm sure that it's not the case, but it feels like I'm the only one.

You are not the only one.

I have a fantastic Norvegesse tan wholecut on the Park in a 7.5 if anyone wants...bought it as a gift for a buddy, but too big for him and too small for me. I'd best take pics, eh?

Hey guys,

Can I get some help on sizing with the RON last? I'm very tempted by the new GMTO loafers in copper suede, but I'm not sure of my size: I'm a 10.5 in HIRO, and a 10 in RUI. I've seen a lot of conflicting statements about it, and I'm not sure if I should go with the same size as HIRO or size down a half. I have a fairly high instep, but my HIRO Double Monks are plenty roomy with a little heel slip.

Any advice appreciated!

I tried researching the RON last with little luck, I took a chance that the RON last would be as my HIRO lasted shoes and found them to be a very similar fit albeit they are a chiselled last rather than the rounded HIRO. So no sizing up or down from my normal size worked for me.

Just as an aside I have a pair of RON lasted and BEN lasted shoes from Meermin and they both seem rather more "pointy" in real life than the pictures seem to suggest especially the comparative last picture that's floating about. Doesn't bother me too much just saying!!

Ron last is a very nice last for loafer, sleek but not too much.
I suggest you to order the size 10 if you have heel slippage in the hiro 10.5

I've inquired them about new SS string loafers, and they told some new models will be added to MTO page within few weeks.
I suggested a Chocolate Brown Lama Calf version, I hope they will consider it.

Those Galway boots are very nice and have lot of potential, but the wide eyelets position and spacing kill them as usual.
I would buy only loafers and monks from Meermin for this reason, really dislike this detail in their laced models.

I can't decide whether to go with a 7.5UK or 8UK in the Hiro. 8E fits me best in Allen Edmond's 5 last, though I can fit into a 8.5D after some stretching in the midfoot and toe. How narrow is the Hiro last compared to AE's 5 last?

I take a 9.5E in 5 last and a 9UK for the hiro so I would say the 7.5uk should be fine.

Mine too.

As a 10.5D (9.5 in Hiro and Olfe) I had to take a 9 in Ron to avoid heel slip. They stretched a little (were very snug new), but still pinch my pinky toe a little. 9.5 would have been too big.

I just received my GMTO shearling lined boots and I have rough dried glue stains at various parts on the shearling, not the "silk feeling" as claimed by Meermin.

Quite disappointed by the QC.

I got my cognac shell LWB today. First off, they are amazing, glad I sized the way I did. 9.5, when I wear a 9.5E Barrie, and I'd say these are absolutely spot on. Second, a nice surprise, these appear to be hand-welted, or at least they are marked as Linea Maestra, rather than Goodyear Welted on the sole and the insole. Could just be a mark of the quality, either way I'd say they did a great job. No issues at all. The quality tradeoff is that the lining leather isn't particularly high quality, feels dry and not wonderful. The shell is beautiful (but not for the "I want pristine shell" crowd, certainly has its blemishes). No stiching or punching faults anywhere to be seen.

And, at least so far, no import tariff. Fedex dropped it off, nothing on the box to indicate any customs, and unless they follow up with the bill in the mail (do they do that?), perhaps I'm in the clear.

Was hoping for some pictures...

Bill usually comes afterwards in the mail (for me at least).

Quick photos of the cognac cordovan lwb. Slight discrepancy in one of the panels... Otherwise good construction
