What size did you get these in? And how is the fit etc?
Hi.

This was my first pair from Meermin so I went with my usual 8UK and the fit is more or less identical to Carmina Oscar. The Olfe has (for me) a normal instep and forefoot. I wore them for 12 hours straight without any more discomfort than a new shoe usually has

Ok, don´t own a pair my self, so clueless when it comes to sizing on these. I take anything from a 9 to a 10 UK, but your advice is to go for your normal size on these and not size down? Do they fit the same as most other Meermins?

Is it just me or has Meermin cut way back on their group MTO offerings? It seems like there used to be 5 or 6 at a time and they are down to 2 right now. I havent really been following, so has there been a change? Have they not been funding the projects? Just curious.

I'm still deciding between picking up a pair of used or order a new pair of dark brown double monks. I need help on sizing though; I'm a US8 for Nikes, US7 for Red Wing Iron Rangers. Does anyone have insight on my size? I'm assuming I'd need a UK7?

very few of the proposed mtos went through due to limited signups. 


Have you had your order refunded? or where you see they were not finished?

"Succesfully funded" etc. is reported under every item
(But it could be a standard phrase not always true)

i have only participated in two website MTOs along with a couple GMTO with the gents on this site. both of my website MTOs went through since they are shell makups.

It doesnt look like there are any MTO groups currently funding. I was a little surprised to see that.

Can anyone offer sizing advice for the Ron last, in particular the tassel loafers? I have the double monks (Hiro) in 7.5UK and the fit is good. I am 8US Barrie, 7.5UK Forest last, if that helps. Thank-you very much!

I sized down 0.5 from my Hiro monks for Ron loafers to avoid the heel slip I had in the 9.5s. Tight on my pinky toe, but no heel slip...

I went same size as my Hiro, a little roomier. I ended up putting a tongue insert in and that was perfect.
