Meermin Chelsea Boot

I wanted something formal enough that I could wear to work everyday but also be capable of wearing in the mountains in the snow and trekking around the woods and the city.

I have tried on a ton of shoes over the past two years to try to figure out what lasts fit well. My toes are short and my arch is long, so I tend to need a longer but narrower last. I had heard that Meermin had lasts that should work, so I was very excited to try them on at Boot Camp. I did, and sure enough, the Rod last felt great - but they didn’t have a Hiro to try on. So, I made my way over to the store in Manhattan and Hiro was also a great fit. All of the staff that I interacted with were very helpful, and I was very excited to purchase a pair, but they didn’t have much in stock in my size.

Shortly after I was sized, there was a seconds sale that popped up online. They had two pairs in my size, and I chose the Chelsea boots. And am very happy I did.
