Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our handcrafted footwear.
How do I determine my correct size in Meermin shoes?
Our shoes are primarily listed in UK sizing. We recommend checking our detailed size guide on each product page, which includes comparisons to US and EU sizing. If you are between sizes, we generally suggest sizing down for a snug fit that will break in perfectly over time.
What is the typical break-in period for Goodyear Welted shoes?
Because we use high-quality, full-grain leathers and traditional construction, a break-in period of 5 to 10 wears is common. The cork filling and leather insoles will gradually mold to the unique shape of your feet for lifelong comfort.
Do you offer international shipping?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping costs and delivery times vary by destination. Please note that for orders outside the EU or US, additional customs duties and taxes may be applied by your local authorities upon arrival.
What is your return and exchange policy?
We accept returns of unworn, unaltered items in their original packaging within 30 days of delivery. Please ensure you try your shoes on a carpeted surface to avoid scratching the leather soles, as damaged soles cannot be accepted for return.
Can Meermin shoes be resoled?
Absolutely. Our footwear is constructed using the Goodyear Welt or Stitchdown methods, both of which allow for multiple resoles by a professional cobbler, significantly extending the lifespan of your shoes.
How should I care for my leather shoes?
We recommend using cedar shoe trees after every wear to maintain shape and absorb moisture. Clean regularly with a damp cloth, apply a high-quality cream polish to keep the leather hydrated, and avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row.
