Outstanding Service, Genuine Expertise

The sales person was absolutely knowledgable on shoes. She actively listened to what I’m looking for and pulled three shoes that were already something I was looking for. Then we narrowed the selection down to the number one shoe. I admired how the sales person could already tell just by looking how I was walking around in the shoes whether they are a good fit or whether I feel comfortable.
I’ve been wearing formal leather shoes for over 14 years and this brand that I newly discovered made it to my top 3 brands!

SoHo Store Experience

The associate who helped me in the SoHo store was great! They did a great job explaining the differences between two of the models I was looking at it, helped me with some try ons socks so I could get a feel for the shoes without thick boots socks on, and recommended sizing for me

Poor Customer Service

Checkout site did not give any chance to update address or review order. Order was placed accidentally and order was delivered more than 1 hour away to an old address. Customer service seemed like a it was a call center and was completely unhelpful at altering/canceling the order. Very inconvenient, unlikely to order from Meermin again as a first time customer.

Dear Chris — Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.

Once our customer service team was able to review your case with our dispatch team, your order had already been dispatched hence address could not be modified. You can be sure our top priority is customer satisfaction that is why our warehouse tema works hard to ship all orders as quickly as possible.

We can see that your order is already on its way back to us for exchange, and we will process it promptly upon receipt.

We appreciate your patience and your input, which helps us continue improving our processes.

Shipping went well and fast. The shoes are well made with minor processing errors.

Great shoes

Great shoes, great price. 1/2 size down from US athletic shoe size, then converted to UK. 11.5US is what I wear in sneakers, so I got UK 10 in loafers. Good fit.

Awful

Horrible, customer service is awful. They messed up my order and then basically said well that sucks for you. Absolutely unbelievable. Horrible experience, and I hope their sales fall through the roof.

Hello Aaron, thank you for your message.

We’ve looked into your case and can see that two orders in different sizes were placed on the same day. When the cancellation of one of the orders was requested, the wrong order was canceled by our team by mistake. We sincerely apologize for this error and the frustration it caused.

The correct pair is already on its way to you via UPS, and a credit has been issued as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope you’ll be pleased with the pair once it arrives. If there’s anything further we can assist with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you.

Sizing was off

i typically wear 10.5 size shoes. When i tried on the 10.5, they were way too big. I returned them for a size 10 and that process was great. The 10s are still a little too big. This shoe may just not be a good fit for me, but I dont want to return them again. Both width and length.

Poorly made

First and last time buying a pair of shoes from this brand. The shoes came with glue residue seeping from the sides where the sole of the shoe was glued and the representative says that this is “normal” for their quality standards. It seems their quality standards are substandard.

wonderful shoes poor delivery

wonderful shoes that are very comfortable. only issue is it took 3 days between the delivery label being created and the package to be delivered to UPS. meaning it took more than a week for delivery that was supposed to be only 4 day.

Nightmare customer service

I had a very frustrating experience with this company’s customer service and exchange process. After receiving my original order, I realized the shoes didn’t fit properly and needed to be exchanged. Instead of a simple swap, I was forced to place an entirely new order, which was already inconvenient.

To make matters worse, the replacement order couldn’t even be delivered to me for reasons that were never clearly explained. When I reached out for help, customer service was unhelpful and unwilling to offer a practical solution—such as sending out another pair while the issue was being resolved. Instead, they insisted that they had to receive the undelivered pair back first, even though I never actually received it in the first place.

This policy and lack of flexibility caused unnecessary delays and frustration. Overall, the process was inefficient, poorly handled, and far from customer-friendly. I expected much better communication and support, especially when the issue was outside of my control.

Hi Brad — We hope you are well & thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

For standard exchanges, we do need to receive and inspect the original item before sending a replacement. To expedite things as requested, we offered the option to place a new order right away, with the original pair being returned for a full refund.

It’s particularly disappointing that the replacement shipment was returned to origin by the UPS without clear explanation. While this was outside of our control, we fully recognize how this added to the frustration you experienced.

We can confirm that both orders have been fully refunded. That said, we regret that the overall experience did not meet your expectations, and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother experience in the future.
