Proper leather shoes

£260 incl. VAT from Meermin. Hoping for a non-EU discount.

Just took my mocs in, they'll be ready in a week...

I'm guessing yours are the moc toes?

Mine are these but with a vibram sole. Had them for at least 8 years and the upper has plenty of life left but the soles are bold as anything.

Going to be sending some Loakes I have for work back to them for a replacement sole. Will report back. Only £65.

That is really very good. They can't do the sole without the heel, so looks like super value. Unless it is half sole then it is expensive. However, can't imagine a factory doing half sole?

Think Putthison.com has reviewed them favourably?

According to the website:

"Loake charge £65.00 per pair, inclusive of return postage within the UK and VAT. This covers re-soling on the original last with new soles and heels, fitting new seat socks and re-finishing the upper part of the shoes."

I don't have those but have some bluchers and our household has 5/6 pairs of Meermins.

Keep going back as for the money they are cracking value

^That's great.

The soles on my old Red Wing 4130s are super fucked... Just spoke to the new Red Wing shop in town and they'll replace the sole for £75!?! How cool is that?

They only cost me £70 new but that's still a pretty good deal... Well happy!

Puke worthy. Excellent!

My grensons had it too. It's gone with use, but leather cleaner + waxing them seem to have helped.
