Great job on the shine, although I felt the camera was zoomed in too close and your work was often out of view. To make it worse we were frequently staring at the used soles of the shoes which wasn't too pleasant. But the Shine was great obviously.
Great video as always I have 5 pair of meermin imo the best value for money Goodyear welted shoe you can buy . Straight from the factory in Inca Majorca no middle men
well, yes, Meermin does offer the best value GYW shoes on the market. Some of their regular/classic lines are made in China of very high quality products, then finished in Spain. Top of the line model like these shoes here are fully made in Spain
Scott's Corner of Fun and Exploration thank you for the information I never New about the China connection. It’s took me around a year of trial and error to get to your standard . I wish someone would send me all the beautiful make you get your hands on my email is kennyj220@hotmail.com if you or anyone would like to see shoes I’ve polished . Please feel free to remove this if you don’t want it on your page thanks
it's a shame that they stop making this model, such a beautiful model. Maybe the cost of production just lowered their profit too far compared to others.
Unfortunately, you most likely are right. Which is a shame really since even if they were to price these higher than what they were originally selling it at, it would still be worth it to buy given the quality of construction.
perfect! Jump on it! they don't do wholecut with Norvegese welt that often! The new GMTO Meermin is doing is a huge upgrade from mine: 5 eyelets vs 3 eyelets, sleek soft chisel Elton last vs round toe Hiro last.
I wouldn't agree with Meermin being any steps above AEs. They use same quality materials except Meermin uses 100% leather stacked heals, which is really their only quality advantage. Meermin's huge disadvantage is they are mass produced in a Chinese Factory and have had many more QC issues over the years, than AE. As far as the Lasts, it really depends on peoples feet and the way they walk, so not a universal fair comparison.
Great job!
Can you describe the entire process here, please? What do you use and why?

The soles suggest they have been worn however there is no crease on the vamp... How?
4 elements:
1-the fit is spot on.
2-high quality leather.
3-good quality fully lasted shoes trees.
4-the frequency of wear.
@@newinspiration2108 their shoe trees aren't lasted I think..
I really wish Meermin would reintroduce these shoes into their line up(or as a mto option) because they are beautiful.

I just got an email about these being added to their MTO groups section

Scott's Corner of Fun and Exploration which meermin lasr is like the 65?
I love the color of those shoes. What color is that? The red tones are great.
Meermin listed these as "burgundy"
Great shine as always!
Good job but sometimes angle of the camera is wrong. I cant see what are you doing or you lift your shoes to high
What kind of brush are you using at 27:01 ? Yak brush?
Is it that red in artificial lighting (indoor lights)?
nice 😎
thank you!
I never hear of this brand, are they anygood? Better the Johnson and Murphy (high end models) or Allen Edmonds? Also, nice shine.
these are of course many, many steps above both JM and AE.
