Great store with a fantastic selection

Great store with a fantastic selection. The staff were really helpful in guiding me to the right size. I initially thought I needed something bigger, but they encouraged me to stick with a slightly snug fit. They were right. It felt perfect even later that day, and I’m really happy with the shoes. Definitely planning to come back for more.

Great service and quality shoes

Customer support was able to correct my mistake of ordering the wrong size before the order went out. They responded very quickly and the shoes came fast, fit perfectly, and were incredibly well made and look very sharp.

I returned the shoes on Sunday

I returned the shoes on Sunday in the NYC office. I was handed a piece of paper and told my credit card would be refunded on Monday or Tuesday. It is now Wednesday and I am still waiting. There is no phone number to call except for the local store. They told me they could not help. Terrible service

Hi John — Thank you for sharing your experience and for visiting our NYC store.

We can confirm that your return was received on Sunday, and your refund was promptly processed by our main office team on Thursday. While our NYC location accepts returns for online orders, refunds are managed separately by our main office and require an inspection before processing. As outlined in our return policy, this can take 7–10 business days.

From your message, we understand that the timeline may not have been fully clear when you dropped off your return, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If there’s anything further we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I am returning the shoe

I am returning the shoe, the shoe looks like a good one, but does not fit, small by at least an inch, this is why I never buy shoes online, I was so impressed by Meermin, so I thought I will take a chance, and the whole thing was messed up, complete waste of my time ??

Thank you for sharing your experience SAP. We’re sorry to hear the sizing didn’t work out.

While we didn’t have the opportunity to assist with sizing prior or after your purchase, we’re always here to help guide customers through fit and sizing questions. Our shoes follow UK sizing, which can sometimes differ from other systems and may have contributed to the issue.

Thank you for giving our shoes a try and should you consider us again in the future, our team would be more than happy to help you find the right fit.

Crafted, not manufactured—Meermin shoes are exceptional.

Meermin makes some awesome shoes. I ordered the wrong pair of black wingtip oxfords, but they accepted the return and handled the issue with a friendly attitude. The shoes themselves are also beautiful—I bet they’ll last for decades if properly cared for with shoe trees and polish.

If you’re thinking about it, buy a pair. They pay for themselves in quality, comfort, and elegant appearance.
