Meermin Chelsea Boot in Whiskey Heritage Shell CordovanBy Ageless • April 6, 2025"This year, I stepped out of my comfort zone and picked up a pair of shearling Chelsea boots from Meermin. Seriously. I used to wear sneakers and now it’s mostly service boots. They fit perfectly and were adaptable to custom orthotics once the extreme cold subsided. As Chelsea boots made of shell cordovan, they handled jobsites extremely well. I used them for various tasks, including cutting concrete, installing drains, painting, sanding walls, sanding my car, hammering, installing soffit lights, installing receptacles and lights, walking my dogs, shoveling snow, and more.

More than I could have asked for. Comfortable, good looking, and stylish. I felt like John Steed.
Meermin Chelsea Boot in Du Puy Brown Box CalfBy cows_electronico • April 6, 2024"I really enjoyed them. I am excited to buy another pair in suede or shell. It seems to be very difficult to find them in stock in a size 12 though, so it may take a while. Given the price, they were a great value...."Read the full review
