  • Thanks - although now I notice it’s a bit of a crap photo! I was supposed to save these for the wedding but I’m not sure I have the patience!

    Is that a crepe soul? Issue I find with those is once they wear it’s like walking on a bar of soap!

  • Totally agree, used to love Clark’s desert boots until it because dangerous to walk on wet pavements in them...

    In other news, ordered the meermin, sized up half and fit was good - I sent them back though as they were cheap looking, the leather looked naff and very shiny grain, didn’t look as good as the press shots... also as the welted part of the sole transitioned into the heal part there was spots of undyed leather.. they just seemed a bit crude, but like Barker... I’m sticking to Loake for affordable decent made shoes, suede and oxblood 771 on order

  • they just seemed a bit crude, but like Barker...

    I've not had a bad pair of shoes from Barker so far, and I've bought a few.

  • Hmmm that’s a shame - I have 3 pairs of Meermin and have been really impressed with them each time with a price/quality.

    I ordered some of their unlined loafers for summer which should be with me in a couple of weeks.

    That said the feel/quality of these unlined Alden’s is something else!
