^ The Olfe will not fit you if you are of E width.

What do you suggest E width in 348 resembles in cm? And analogous for Olfe? I.e. are E width meant for feet <10 cm in width? Or is it the girth of ball, girth of ankle that play the most important roles in estimating? I hope the questions make any sense.

I have the exact same pair on order.

I think the colour in these photos look nothing like the colour depicted on Meermins website. Did you find this was the case, or is it just your camera? im tempted to cancel my order now - they still look great but not the colour i thought i was originally going to get.

Thanks for uploading the pics.

Firstly

Can anybody vouch for the long term quality of this boot 101487 - TAN COUNTRY CALF http://meermin.es/ficha_articulo.php?id=4080 ?

Can it take the beating of slush, long city walks in rain and occasional country outings with mud and pebbles as surface?

Secondly

Regarding sizing I am normally a UK 10 G or a US 11 E or EU 45 (or more precisely 44 2/3) - however Meermin size conversion is a bit different. Which size do you reckon I should pick for the Rui last?

You know I think I misunderstood. I was referring to US E width and you meant E in the UK scale I think? If you are an E in the UK scale, then the Olfe should fit you perfectly.

I think it's a mix, it's definitely a snuff color though

Here are a few from their Instagram:

What's everyone's opinions on tassel loafers in brown calf vs dark brown suede vs snuff suede? Can't decide which I want to buy. I already own a pair of dark brown bit loafers, so I'm leaning to dark brown suede. Thoughts?

For versatility you take suede. And a man needs both darker and lighter brown suede loafers so take both.

Anyone else have a problem with the sole being very curved and not comfortable? I have used mine over half a year, but it doesn't seem to get any straighter.

Anyone interested to organize a shell Cordovan MTO ? I'm short of shell cordovan shoes in my wardrobe, looking forward to having a pair.
