Meermin Chelsea Boot
C.F. Stead Gaucho Waxy KuduGreat super tough leather, but somehow uncomfortable underfoot. I now use them mostly for landscaping work, as they offer great grip in the mud and, since they are the same color as the local dried mud, they never seem to get dirty. Review will follow...

Why did you choose this item?
I chose them because of the look, the grain, and the mark showing in the kudu leather, and there was a discount. I've been looking for a smooth, everyday pair of Chelsea boots for some time, so let's find out after the do me—I’ll know if they are worth it!
How did you determine your size?
I guessed it😂 I mostly wear 9D in US heritage boots. Shoes and loafers, even slippers, are usually in 8. The trickers I have are in 8.5 UK, but they are too big, so I went with UK 8 on these. Yes, I have a Brannock device at home. It tells me I’m an 8 US. But I have a high instep, so 8 is far too uncomfortable for my feet.
What was the ordering process?
Ordered from Meermin EU online. They arrive quickly, and the process was straightforward.
